PARK NATURALIST
A Park Naturalist plays an important role in the sustainable use and management of local and/or national nature parks: they educate visitors on conservation by giving lectures, tours, etc., and they offer advice to managing bodies on resource and land management, as they are experts on protecting wildlife.

GARDENER
Gardeners should do their best to avoid using pesticides, herbicides and toxic fertilisers, as these often kill wildlife and damage the soil. Instead, they can choose natural fertilisers, e.g., animal manure.

FIREFIGHTER
Forest fires occur frequently and, in the face of climate change, wildfires are becoming increasingly common as well. In these instances, Firefighters are vital to minimising the damage to forests, which are also major wildlife habitats.

ACTOR
Often, Actors are also famous celebrities with a lot of “star power” and influence over people. Thus, Actors can use their status to bring attention to issues such as deforestation, poaching, conservation, etc. Moreover, they can choose specific acting parts that convey a message about these issues.

BEEKEEPER
A central factor in the gradual loss of the Earth’s biodiversity is the shrinking bee population. Bees are essential because they pollinate the majority of our crop species. As a Beekeeper, you contribute to the conservation of biodiversity by growing the bee population and preventing their extinction.

WILDLIFE VETERINARIAN
As wildlife health and populations dwindle, the need for veterinary expertise is more urgent than ever. A Wildlife Veterinarian helps ensure wildlife conservation by treating free-ranging animals for the diseases threatening their species’ survival.

PARK RANGER
Park Rangers participate in an exceptionally wide range of conservation efforts, as they combat desertification and deforestation, protect natural resources, improve agricultural efficiency, prevent wildfires, etc. This makes a Park Ranger an integral player in sustainable nature management.

PROGRAMME ASSOCIATE
Working as a Programme Associate for a conservation organisation that works to combat wildlife trafficking and poaching, you make a meaningful contribution to research, raising awareness, and donor communications, all of which help end this global crisis.

LOGGER
As a Logger, you contribute to sustainable forest management when you avoid cutting down too many trees of the same species, leave the smaller trees to continue growing, and replant wherever you’ve had to clear-cut.

FORESTRY TECHNICIAN
Much of the research that presents a forest’s condition – i.e., on tree growth, disease prevalence, wildlife patterns, etc.– is collected by Forestry Technicians. This information is essential, as it helps establish the most effective and sustainable ways to manage those particular forests.
