How can I work in the zoo?

The conditions for working in the zoo are-

1. Veterinary certificate is required.

Second, we should be professional and consistent in learning and using.

Third, you must be able to endure hardships, because you will not be very comfortable in terms of treatment or work when you just enter such a unit. You must be able to endure hardships.

Fourth, take the work seriously.

There are many occupations in zoos, and the lowest general education requirement is the breeder, which is also one of the occupations that contact animals, but it is very bitter; In addition, there are trainers, and there is no academic requirement. The undergraduate course is the best and the risk is relatively high; Then there is the veterinarian, with the lowest undergraduate degree, but even if it is not an undergraduate degree, it is most important to have a certificate.

Generally speaking, the work of breeders will give priority to professionals such as animal husbandry, veterinary medicine and aquaculture, so ordinary people are more likely to serve as zoo volunteers. Take Beijing Zoo as an example:

With the assistance of China Zoo Association, International Animal Welfare Foundation, China Youth Daily Green Island, Green Home Volunteers and other non-governmental organizations, Beijing Zoo has set up a zoo volunteer workstation in Beijing Zoo. The workstation welcomes people who love nature and animals to provide voluntary services in their spare time.

Volunteer workstations will be set up: service hotline, zoo network construction, explanation in the park, animal protection and biodiversity research, animal care salon and lectures.

The service scope of "Beijing Zoo Volunteers" includes:

Explain animal knowledge and ecological protection knowledge, explain animal protection and animal welfare laws and regulations, participate in popular science propaganda work in zoos, answer animal protection hotlines, maintain volunteer workstation networks, and preach animal protection in communities or schools.

Volunteers can choose one or two jobs according to their own situation. All work is voluntary and unpaid.

Requirements for candidates: 18 years old, in good health, living in Beijing. Each volunteer can't serve at least twice a month.
