Environmentalists work in a variety of areas. Many of them do research in government laboratories. Many advise private companies or provide consultation for government policies.

Kimutai Nelson

Community Answer

Join a environmental activist group and participate in environmental conservation activities regularly. Also consider taking a short course in environmental science and conservation. Just participate as much as you can in and study more about environmental conservation. Talk to people already in environmental organizations to get their advice and heads up on positions available.
