Working with canids?

Question

Im doing a diploma in dog care health and behaviour but when I have finished I would like to work with a group in the canid family(wolfs, foxes, dogs, coyotes, dingoes, jackals, and African Wild Dogs) by working with I mean helping them if there hurt, trying to work out ways to stop people shooting them for killing livestock or for sport and generally making there lives and people around them better and obviously stopping them for becoming extinct.

Ive basically watched 5 urban foxes grow into adult hood (watching them at least 4 times a week for the first 5 months or so but now at least once a week and providing some food for them every day during the first five months but gradually getting less and now about once a week, or when every there are left over bones, they love cracking them open to get to the marrow and eating the rest of the meat left on the bone)

And I have always liked dogs

But im fascinated by wolfs, I think they are so intelligent and hunters could learn so much from them

Where do I go or ask to get into this profession/line of work

I don’t care about the money I know people say there is no money in it, barley enough to live but I don’t care about the money bit I want to do it because its something im passionate about, and im only going to live once so might as well work within something I want to even if it’s a struggle im still helping animals survive

Thanks
