This Weeks Questions:

Ben: How applicable do you see wildlife photography being a career that's based mostly on conservation? Yes, it's for my personal passion, but also just curious in general since there are so many fabulous hobbyist photographers.

Nate: Hello, I was a seasonal wildlife rehabilitator and currently volunteer my time with raptor training. I only have one season of rehab under my belt, and I feel discouraged to apply anywhere else hiring again due to being an undergrad. How did you both start out in this career field? Thank you both.

Nathan: I am starting my first semester in environmental studies this fall. I was wondering if either of you had ideas for online/remote ways to get into animal conservation. I do not have much time and live in a city area, so there are not many in-person options, sadly.

Charlotte: What is the best degree to study to get into animal rehabilitation or conservation? What are also good places to intern/work to begin or continue that path? Thanks <3

Darkrow: After spending a lot of money on protecting the environment for many years, how much more of our country's total money (GDP) should we spend on these efforts before we start asking if we are doing it in the best way possible?
