As with all animal related work, it is crucial that you are dedicated, compassionate, committed and that you don’t suffer from animal allergies. Different roles working with wildlife may include; conducting wildlife and ecological surveys, monitoring wildlife habitats and populations, protection and rescue of animals from natural and man-made disasters and the rehabilitation of sick or injured animals.
