What does and Ecologist do?
"Ecologists are concerned with ecosystems as a whole, the abundance and
distribution of organisms (people, plants, animals), and the relationships
between organisms and their environment. Ecologists usually choose a specialist
area (e.g. freshwater, marine, terrestrial, fauna, flora) and then carry out a
wide range of tasks relating to that area.When starting out, ecologists often conduct surveys to identify, record and
monitor species and their habitats. With career progression, work is likely to
become more wide-ranging, with senior ecologists being more involved in policy
and management work." - John Aloester, Ecologist
The work of an Ecologist is very important. Without the knowledge of the environments around us, our world would be a very different place. Places like the Mesoamerican Coral Reef would never have been discovered and we might not have the technological advances we have today.
