Biological sciences professionals at the BLM work to conserve, protect and sustain biological communities on BLM-administered lands - and spend a lot of time visiting sites and collaborating with people inside and outside the Bureau. Your job won't always involve saving things, though; sometimes the decisions that uphold our multiple-use mission aren't always the ones that coincide with conservation. You'll have to make a lot of hard decisions as a steward of our nation's natural resources - maintaining the sustainable economic prosperity and quality of life that come from public lands.

Our multiple-use mission and diverse landscapes mean that BLM biologists have an incredible breadth of terrain and wildlife to work on - coastal, urban, wildland, sagebrush and more. Whether general or more specialized, being a biologist with the BLM means having a real chance to monitor and protect species and lands as they're developed. We're responsible for more than 3 million acres of lakes and reservoirs, 117,000 miles of fish-bearing streams and rivers, and about 245 million acres of land in 23 states. Some of the nation's most ecologically diverse wildlife and plant life exist on our lands and in our waters.
