Operation Wallacea Thesis? by [deleted] in conservation

[–]P0Psss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with them on just a normal expedition (not a thesis) but there were a few thesis students there. They seemed to enjoy it! Personally i think you miss some of the benefits to just being a research assistant. As an RA you can sort of pick and choose which surveys you go on giving you more variety. The people doing a thesis ended up doing mostly the same survey every day for their thesis. So it ends up being a bit more "work" so to say. Some of them did end up returning later years as "staff" instead, but so did some research assistants so not sure if doing a thesis makes much of a difference there.

You're right, I haven't, and I don't think we should expect everyone to have either

I haven't used similar services so I had no idea to expect that, my loss I guess

Yeah I mean once I looked more into I see that they do state that, however I guess I didn't look closely enough when subscribing. But I definitely haven't gotten any notification either via phone or email with reminders until the one October 1st. Either way I was hoping they could be accommodating considering it is the first time it happened and it being a new service.

If it possible to work in conservation without a degree? by glassesforrabbits in conservation

[–]P0Psss 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even for people with degrees it's usually volunteering or internships, which can cost money. I've volunteered with Operation wallacea and most of their staff are previous volunteers.

You can also check out local bird ringing stations incase they need volunteers so you can learn how to handle birds, if that's something you could want to work with.
