Dr Rabinowitz,

Short-time lurker, first time poster. My wife is a zoology grad and has big dreams of working with big cats. She has volunteered for several months at various big cat sanctuaries here in the states. Link

What course of action should a new graduate take to make a "career" of big cat conservation?

Do most lifetime conservationists take the educational route and get graduate degrees, doctorates, etc. or get experience on the ground?

What species and geography do you see the biggest need for big cat conservation (based on food chain impact post-extinction)?

Thank you so much for the work you do and taking the time for this AMA!

Your description of the broad areas of importance sound not dissimilar from the type of work I can be involved in as a civil engineer.

What graduate programs can you speak on behalf of that would be highly recommended for continuing education, whether US or abroad?
