When Nat Hab Expedition Leader Aaron Bott, a professional wildlife biologist from the American West, was asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”, he didn’t need to think long about his response. His affinity for nature and animals led him to his current career, and he’s thrilled to share his knowledge and experience with other would-be biologists (even if that aspiration is only in your dreams). Aaron takes us behind the scenes to explain what wildlife biologists do, who they work for, and why their role is essential for conservation. You’ll not only learn how someone just starting out can pursue a career as a wildlife biologist, but also how those of us who are already established in our jobs or who are retired can become citizen scientists and make a real difference for animals. Join Aaron as he describes a typical day in the “office,” from studying species in their natural habitats to working with the public to monitor wildlife populations and habitats. Whether you’re 7 or 70, you’re sure to enjoy this intimate look into the life of a wildlife biologist.
