So you wanna work with wildlife. Whether it's in the wild or in captivity, captive breeding for conservation, zookeeping, trapping, mugging, academia, ecotourism, pest control, furbearer management, consumptive use of wildlife as a management practice, on this interview channel I, John Beaumont, a Conservation Biologist and Veterinary Surgeon (not in clinical practice) chat with people who work with wild animals, to get their blueprint for a successful career. Biologists, authors, conservationists, zookeepers and consultants are among the people I speak with to give viewers insight into their skills, career path and animal work highlights. At the end of each interview, suggestions are presented for final-year project ideas.
