After graduation, you can work in nature conservation in both the public and private sectors, for example as a municipal ecologist, at county councils or as a consultant. The knowledge you obtain is also needed in silviculture and agriculture. Among other things, your work duties could include environmental monitoring, taking species inventory, field sample collection, offering advice as well as assessing and implementing biodiversity measures. If you are interested in research within conservation biology, there are good opportunities to continue your studies at a higher education institution.
