Would you recommend pursuing grad school for someone who wants to work with animals in the wild or in conservatories?
I want to either research animals in the wild, or work with injured or endangered animals in a conservatory. Do you think I could pursue this with an undergrad degree in biology or zoology, or would I need to continue on to grad school? #science #biology #research #animals #environmental-science #zoology #animal-conservation #animal-science

Honestly you may only require to get your BS in Wildlife Biology/Biology/Wildlife. During your undergrad period, look for research opportunities on wildlife and/or do community service on a wildlife rescue.
That's going to give you experience for the real world.
Once you graduate, if you want to get more education you can go for your graduate program depending o.n what got your attention.

Wildlife work increasingly deals with health/disease issues,The wildlife field is becoming more specialized- there are degree specialties in more and more subjects and wildlife disease is one of those areas. But specialized coursework is typically obtained in a graduate program.
