An ecologist is someone who studies ecology, the branch of Biology that focuses on the relationships of organisms to each other and to their physical surroundings/environment. Ecologists range from amateur hobbyists to field researchers and highly qualified and experienced scientists and academics. An ecologist needs to know how to correctly sample certain habitats and/or species and to understand specific scientific protocols.
Therefore ecologists need to be accurate observers, able to discern, distinguish and analyse facts within their speciality field, and then able to make inferences and draw conclusions, and able to report/communicate their findings and recommendations in appropriate ways to others. Extreme care must be exercised in the gathering of samples and specimens and the recording of data. Sound quantitative studies are vital to accurate research. Appropriate ways of making qualitative evaluations need to considered and decided. Perhaps new methods of assessment have to be designed and implemented, which might then result in new conclusions being reached, i.e. ones that may not have been considered before. In these respects, a sound knowledge of, and training in, statistical mathematics would be essential, together with good communication skills, including report writing and presentations. In addition to organisational abilities and general research skills, the ecologist needs an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the life form(s) being studied and of the environmental factors that affect that life form. In other words, in order to avoid 're-inventing the wheel', ecologists must keep themselves up-to-date with all the latest findings on their particular subject. They need 'people skills' in order to work effectively and efficiently with colleagues, superiors and support assistants. They need an awareness and an appreciation of the conflicting pressures on the various 'stakeholders' (e.g. commerce, industry, community, politics, other scientific fields), and an understanding of economics, and ethics, all things that are part of the bigger picture in which 'ecology' exists. They may need training, and highly developed skills, in the matters of public relations, marketing, and in managing the media if all their hard work and efforts are to achieve satisfactory outcomes. Most professional ecologists start their training by taking up University degree studies in their particular field of interest. This may incorporate or lead to some form of related 'work-experience', such as being a conservation volunteer, (e.g. in countryside management, assisting a marine biologists etc), which would all be part of the learning and training process. In due course the graduate could seek a placement with a company or organisation that would be able to sponsor him/her in their further career development.
