World Wildlife Fund (WWF), one of the world’s leading conservation organizations, seeks a Ecological Impacts of Invasive Species Graduate Intern.Position SummaryWWF's Markets Institute has been leading an effort to explore market-based solutions to address invasive species. The team completed a deep dive into the pet food market potential and ecological impact of market demand for invasive carp. In April, we released a 'market use for invasive species' framework laying out how to examine the potential of using invasives in markets from both a business and ecological impact. However, we now want to understand and categorize the threat of invasives more broadly. There is research on individual species, but little broad understanding of how pervasive invasive species are worldwide.ResponsibilitesWe are looking for a graduate intern to help categorize this by establishing:what the total biomass of invasive species is worldwide and how that compares to other entities, like wildlife mammals;total population of invasive species compared to native wildlife;percent of animals and plants that are invasive in key targeted geographies.CompensationUnpaid. For all unpaid internships, applicants must be enrolled in school and be able to obtain academic course credit from their university.
