Conservation Biologist II

The NC Wildlife Resources Commission Mission Statement is to conserve North Carolina’s wildlife resources and their habitats and provide programs and opportunities that allow hunters, anglers, boaters and other outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy wildlife-associated recreation.  The Commission is the regulatory agency responsible for the enforcement of N.C. fishing, hunting, trapping and boating laws. The NCWRC employs 700 full-time staff across the state, including wildlife and fisheries biologists and technicians, wildlife law enforcement officers, wildlife educators, communication specialists, customer service, information technology, and administrative professionals.

 

The NC Wildlife Resources Commission’s Wildlife Management Division monitors the health and status of wildlife populations, developing and administering programs for their management and wise use and, when necessary, helping to resolve human-wildlife interactions in a manner assuring a diverse wildlife resource for future generations of North Carolinians. The division provides services in a variety of ways, including providing technical guidance to landowners wanting to manage wildlife on their lands and monitoring the health and status of wildlife populations. The Wildlife Diversity program promotes conservation of species, and the biologists who work in the section often specialize in particular species or genre.
