what exactly is conservation education? like what does it entail? Iām curious .. hope you donāt mind the non writing related question
I donāt mind at all! I love talking about it!! I specifically work at a zoo, so I spend my time walking around and giving presentations on all the animals, talking about their unique adaptations, habitats, why theyāre endangered, interactions with humans, our breeding programs, etcā¦. sometimes itās formal presentations with school groups, other times itās just brief conversations with guests who have questions about specific animals! I also get to use ecofacts (like turtle shells and molted feathers) or even bring our ambassador reptiles along with me :) itās super super fun and fulfilling; I get to make people happy and show them how a single person really can make a difference! I never imagined myself as an educator in any form, but I found a passion for informal education/interpretation in college. I originally wanted to work in a museum setting, but talking about animals and talking about art is very similar, and ecology has always been the inspiration for my art š„° my current position isnāt permanent, but I plan to stay in the field in the future, since there are a lot of ways to get involved
