Ecologist careers
An Ecologist studies the relationships between organisms and their environments, focusing on ecosystems, biodiversity, and natural resource management. Duties include conducting field surveys, collecting and analysing data, assessing the impact of human activities, developing conservation plans, and collaborating with other scientists to protect habitats and species.
Ecologists also prepare detailed reports and offer guidance on ecological policies and environmental sustainability.
