Zoologists conduct research for a variety of purposes. For example, many zoologists work to increase our knowledge and understanding of wildlife species. They also work closely with public officials to develop wildlife management and conservation plans that protect species from threats and help animal populations return to and remain at sustainable levels. Most zoologists and work on research teams with other scientists and technicians. For example, zoologists may work with environmental scientists and hydrologists to monitor the effects of water pollution on fish populations.
