Apply for a paid internship: Certified nature expert assistant

When we think of a nature expert, our first thought is often of Charles Darwin's travels. Later, our thoughts may wander to Steve and Terry Irwin or Sir David Attenborough. Natural science is one of the oldest sciences, but it is still relevant today. It differs from biology and the biological sciences in that it deals much less with genetics and more with relationships. Today, their relationship is much closer to environmental biology. Basically, it is the study of the natural world as a whole and the study of each species in its environment, as well as the interactions between species.
