Study Biology and Wildlife at Salford
PROTECT OUR NATURAL WORLD
Urgent action is needed to protect our environment. As the human impact on the natural world intensifies, the damaging loss of biodiversity and effect on our ecosystems increases.
Biological sciences and wildlife professionals work in a range of important roles, from advocacy and campaigning, to making research discoveries and completing vital conservation work. With a biological sciences or wildlife-based degree, you can join them.
Biology is the science that help us to explore and explain life processes in humans and the natural world.
Biologists work to solve some of the biggest challenges currently faced by people and the planet today – fighting disease, protecting the environment and feeding our growing population.
Global zoos specialise in preventing species extinction through conservation and breeding management projects.
Zoologists and conservationists work in zoos to manage resident species, conduct conservation programmes and lead research projects on all kinds of areas such as animal behaviour, well-being and conservation initiatives.
Human activities have a devastating impact on our oceans.
Marine biologists and conservationists work to preserve ocean environments and improve marine life and habitats.
Global biodiversity is at an all-time low, with many more species becoming endangered every year.
Improving wildlife habitats in both urban and rural areas in the UK is a priority for local conservation specialists. They aim to support wildlife through a variety of measures such as restructuring woodland and wetland areas, restoring peat bogs and reintroducing hedgerows.
