wildlife conservation qualifications
does anyone know what A level qualifications i would need to become a wildlife conservationist ?
Im going to go to college next year and need to kno what courses to take / study tht would help me with animal and environmental conservation x Any help would be appreciated x Thankz x x x
Well typically I have seen a load of graduates in environmental science, marine biology etc coming into that world. I am not sure how far you would get with only A levels but subjects like biology, geography would be my first bets with chemistry, environmental science if it exists now, and a language as further options. Why not try and contact organisations such as WWF to see if they have standard qualification requirements.

preservation john muir
Can someone explain to me the idea of preservation and John Muir’s view/approach to it?
John Muir was a self-described “poetico-trampo-geologist-botanist and ornithologist-naturalist etc. etc. !!!!” He helped to teach the people of his time and ours the importance of experiencing and protecting our natural heritage. He helped inspire President Roosevelt’s conservation programs, including establishing the first national monuments, and promoted the establishment of Yosemite National Park by congressional action. In 1892 he helped found the Sierra Club, and served as it’s first President. The man explored the land, loved the lands he explored, and used words to convey that love and appreciation to a public who embraced those words and acted upon them, sometimes with great success. One of his last battles involved an effort to save Hetch Hetchy, an effort that failed, although subsequent proposals to dam our national parks have been stopped because of the efforts of citizens he inspired.
His life serves to remind us of the important things that just one person can do.
