There are infinite ways to get your start in conservation, and everybody seems to have a different story. When asked \u201chow did you get into this field?\u201d, every wildlife biologist usually starts by saying \u201cI didn\u2019t take the typical path to this career\u201d. To me, this means there must not be a typical path. Though having a bachelor\u2019s degree in an area like zoology, ecology or environmental studies would seem to be the ideal beginning, rarely have I had a colleague who took this straight path.\u00a0 I, for example, started my post-secondary education with the goal of being either a doctor or a veterinarian, which is reflected in my educational history. Some biologists that I have worked with in the past started in completely different programs, others built experience through volunteering, and others still built birding skills as a hobby. It is, in fact, encouraged by employers in this field to have varied experience and bring something different to the table!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without direct access to somebody in this field, it would be impossible to know how many options there are to get your start in conservation or wildlife biology. Earlier this year, I took part in an interview series that strives to connect students, with an interest in a career in the environmental field, with somebody that has an insider\u2019s knowledge. The series is a project spear-headed by <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rare<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Charitable Research Reserve in Cambridge. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rare<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a multi-faceted charitable organization that brings together research, education and conservation on the 1200 acres of natural lands that the organization safe-guards. This community-based land trust and environmental institute seeks to make the world a more sustainable place by acknowledging that people are a part of the environment, and protecting natural spaces for our enjoyment and well-being, today and into the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The interview series, dubbed \u201cCareer Connections\u201d, is aimed at high school students and early undergraduate students. In <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rare<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s words, \u201cWith this series of interviews, students can learn more about careers they can pursue in the environmental field. Teachers can use these interviews to meet the needs of Strand A2 of the Ontario Science Curriculum.\u201d My interview focuses not only on my career as a Recovery Biologist with Wildlife Preservation Canada, but also how I got where I am today and what advice I would give to somebody pursuing a similar career path.
