Answer 4

Yes and no. You may have to look under different job titles. For you, the best might be "Wildlife Biologist". Other possibilities are Ecologist or Zoologist.

Answer 5

The big charitities like WWF have conservationists and zoo keepers sometimes do conservation work too. Volunteer work is a good opportunity to gain experience and show potential employers you are serious about the work. The link below gives some idea of jobs you could do. If you do a google search for conservation jobs there are more websites you could check out.

Answer 6

In Australia it sure is.

It comes in many forms as well,like looking after injured wild life that's very popular,we have a guy who has his own zoo he has done some amazing work with some rare species that he has managed to reintroduce back into the wild,

Any one can go there even the local buses do a trip I believe its possible to stay there as well and not surprising to see a giraffe walk by your window.

And this bloke started off saving wild animals
