Hi Rishi,
The present scenario of global warming, conserving the wildlife is a vital job that mankind needs to pay attention to. This is precisely what a wildlife biologist aim at. Conservation of wild life and its propagation are main concerns of wildlife biologist. They study the process of conservation by conducting research on various animals species including birds, reptiles, mammals etc. especially those which are close to extinction. The study is conducted on various conditions, behavior, habitat, etc. with primary focus on their conservation and protection.
