Advancement Prospects
With experience, rewilders can work on larger and/or more demanding projects. Those with strong management skills can be promoted to supervisory or executive-level positions. Some highly experienced rewilders launch their own consulting firms, while others choose to teach restoration ecology or other environmental-related classes at colleges and universities or for the continuing education programs of professional associations. Scientists can become renowned in their field for their research discoveries, which can translate into receiving public recognition for their work and a higher salary.
