Environmental Scientist Courses
Environmental Scientists are passionate about the natural environment and aim to protect and conserve wildlife, plants and forests, fishes, natural resources, and cultural heritage sites. They carry out field tests, modelling, and environmental research then advise governments and private enterprises on the most sustainable ways to carry out their operations.
As an Environmental Scientist you could be carrying out environmental impact assessments for a construction company, analysing the impact of pollution on local soil and water quality, writing a report on the decline in native plant species in national parks, developing an operational procedure for local government to prevent unlawful land clearing, participating in an environmental focus group that addresses illegal discharge of wastewaters, or running community programs to educate the general public about the impacts of climate change.
To succeed in this occupation you will need a thorough knowledge of environmental science and the research methodologies in your specialist field, as well as the ability to present meaningful reports and recommendations to key decision-makers and stakeholders.
