这种集中精力可以促进资源保护和科学方面的学习和技能组合，从而实现这一目标。大学和雇主正在寻找自然资源专业人士，他们具有必要的工具，能够进入研究生院或受雇于主要任务是环境保护和资源节约的私人组织，私营企业以及州和联邦机构。这一点特别重要，因为这些组织和机构在保护自然资源（即水生和陆地）以及评估依赖这些环境对人类，花卉和动植物种群的影响方面，对记录和验证其活动的需求日益增长。
This concentration promotes learning and skill sets in resource conservation and science that will meet this objective. Universities and employers are looking for natural resource professionals who have the necessary tools to be able to attend graduate school or become employed by private organizations, private industry, and state and federal agencies whose primary mission is environmental protection and resource conservation.This is particularly important since these organizations and agencies are under increasing demands to document and verify their activities in both protecting natural resources (i.e., aquatic and terrestrial) and assessing impacts on human, floral, and fauna populations relying on these environments.
