Environmental protection and safeguard of wolves

Gianfry

My son (23 years old) is a passionate hiker, environmentalist and above all a defender of wolves. Are there other parents or autistic people who have a positive experience of continuing activities with wildlife parks, wildlife conservation organizations, or others about wildlife protection in your area?

  • Hi I work with a bunch of ecological consultants a couple of whom are on the spectrum. It definitely plays to their strengths - basically surveying any change of land or building use for protected species and advising on mitigation and biodiversity enhancement. Ecologists are also leading on the Ken Hill rewilding project here in west Norfolk. I'm lucky that it's right on my doorstep! 

    Like most things it's a competitive sector, but it suits loners with an eye for detail who are enthusiastic about what they find...and it will be more and more important if we are to increase the green space in the UK Slight smile

    Thank you very much! This is really good news. I try to know positive experiences just to imagine (and plan!) for my son an opportunity close to home to work in Nature and give him the opportunity to exploit his great passion. You are really right! It is very fortunate to have a home so close to a forest or in a natural park! Is Norfolk on the east coast of the UK? Did I understand it right? About work of your bunch of ecological consultants ... would you like to describe better? It would be of great use and interest to me to help me understand the different jobs and the potential possibilities to create a job placement in the environmental sector for autistic people here in Italy
