Does anyone know some good books or media/documentaries that would be a good introduction to wildlife conservation? I really want to become more educated on these topics and I'd love to learn about it, but I don't know where to start with learning. I've done a bunch of researching lately, but I think something where someone is giving an actual personal perspective on conservation would be really interesting, so if there's anything you guys have read like that, I'd love to hear!

My whole childhood I've found nature conservation to be fascinating, but only recently I've been inspired to try to make it more of a reality. It came pretty randomly, but recently I've been re-inspired to get more involved and connected with nature conservation. I know it is bold, but it would be a dream to get involved or even found my own wildlife conservation.

What kind of things would someone need to be involved in or what kind of skills would it take to get into the conservation industry. Is there any entry level jobs or actions I could take to get more involved?

I understand wildlife conservation is a huge task with lots of responsibility with the animals, but I feel like at some point in my life I'd want to have a lasting impact, and wildlife conservation seems like something that really interest me. I understand it is a long journey, but I'm just curious for those who maybe know about the industry and would like to help. Honestly, any sort of steps towards making an impact would be really cool to understand and research. If there's anything specific I'd love to hear it!
