Conservation jobs

Conservation covers the protection and restoration of land, water, and the species that depend on them. It is one of the oldest parts of the climate economy and still one of the largest, spanning habitat restoration, wildlife biology, land stewardship, and protected-area management.

Land trusts, conservancies, government agencies, and field-research organizations hire across this pathway. Entry points are unusually varied: seasonal field technician work, GIS and monitoring roles, and program or policy positions that never leave a desk.

Roles you will see in this pathway

  • Conservation scientist
  • Restoration ecologist
  • Land stewardship manager
  • Wildlife biologist
  • GIS analyst
  • Field technician
