Wildlife biologists can work with endangered species, advocate for preservation of wildlife, resolve issues pertaining to wildlife, and manage animal populations. Education. Educational requirements for wildlife biologists typically include tertiary education, such as a bachelor's degree in wildlife biology, zoology, wildlife ecology, or general biology. Many universities offer specialist degrees or courses in wildlife biology. Career progression into research or university-based roles will usually require relevant doctoral qualifications. Annual pay. In the United States, the average pay for a wildlife biologist is $ 62,290 per year or $29.95 per hour. The top 10% of wildlife biologists can earn up to $99,700 a year.
