Conservation scientists manage natural resources, such as rangeland and water. They develop programs that both make resources productive and protect them. As a conservational scientist you’ll constantly be faced with a variety of challenges to help support the needs of human habitation with the needs of natures replenishment and flourishment. The job is a balancing act of careful management and scientific practice which aims to ensure the sustainability of human’s cohabitation with its natural environment.
An example of conservation science would be the management of farmland so that it supports the most cattle while maintaining the land for the natural wildlife and the livestock’s staple requirements. An issue for many of Australia’s metropolitan areas is the management of water and catchment supplies. A conservationist scientist would be responsible for investigating ways to ensure a city’s water needs are fulfilled with minimal impact of the natural ecosystem.
All varieties of conservationist scientists make complex decisions to come up with plans that balance economic goals with environmental impact and meet government regulations and international standards.
Te perfect candidate for a conservationist scientist would be someone who is a true nature lover, who enjoys working outdoors. You need to be a problem solver who likes coming up with original solutions to issues. You should enjoy the sciences and math, statistics will probably be a large factor in your job as a means for assessing and forecasting progress or trends. You must be able to both work independently and communicate with many types of people. Some conservation scientists become public figures and pose as role models and mentors for society. Such examples include the late Steve Irwin and David Suzuki. Many conservation scientists won’t seek public recognition but still offer an important behind-the-scenes contribution to help human and nature co-habit in harmony.
If you are interested in conservation sciences as a career you’ll need to pursue further education at a specialized college or university. Most universities throughout Australia will offer a biology degree with a major in a specific conservation stream. Alternatively, you could pursue a marine sciences or agricultural degree depending on where you’re interests lie and the stream you’d like to take forth for a career. There are several related TAFE courses that offer training in applied sciences which may also be relevant. If you’d like to give conservation sciences a trial, volunteer with a local zoo, animal shelter, nature park or eco-rebuilding program. You’ll get a good overview of the type of work a conservationist is involved in and it may help you determine which area of conservation you’d like to take on as a career.
