Better Than We Found It
Imagine managing animal populations, wild or in human care? Would you focus just on the important work of scientists directly working with wildlife? What about the land that the wildlife lives on? As a guest scientist you will analyze the systems that make up the Minnesota Zoo. We will also explore how scientists conduct research to better understand ways that humans can manipulate land and habitats to make them better for wildlife. We have a whole lot of land at the Zoo and we’ve done some amazing things with it…but what else can we do?
