How to get into Animal Conservation?

I am interested in Animal Conservation and I am interested in building up the numbers of the scottish wildcat there are only 400 in the wild and a few at wildlife parks around Scotland. I am working at a wildlife rehabilitation centre, cleaning out the cages and feeding the animals. And I am studying a level 3 in Animal Management. The units I am studying next year include Understand the Principles and carry out the practise of Wildlife Population Surveys, Ecology and Conservation. Another unit I am studying is Understand and Undertake wildlife Management and Rehabilitation. Does this put me in good favour, I am also thinking a higher education course in Animal Management would make me stand out.

    First obtain your Bachelors degree in either Biology, Wildlife Biology, Natural Resources, Zoology, or Animal Science. For what you want to do I think that Natural Resources would be the best major for you. Once you obtain your bachelors, try to get your masters or phd. Animal Conservation is a competitive field. If you're in school join the Wildlife Society, if your institution has one. The more education and experience you have the easier it is to obtain your goal.
