Early-Career Scientists
Scientific research is at the core of WCS Canada’s work and that's why we're committed to mentoring and training the next generation of conservation scientists.
Each year, graduate-level students work with WCS Canada on scientific research projects in northern Canada. Their work helps answer important questions about the health of ecosystems, wildlife populations and how nature is responding to a rapidly changing climate.
WCS Canada scientists help mentor these students and provide advice and feedback on research based on their own deep field experience.
