(d)	Discuss game farming (e.g., wild boar, elk, whitetail, ostrich and bison) as an alternative to domestic livestock.
(e)	Explain the objectives (e.g., protect habitat from monocrop agriculture, increase numbers of huntable species and provide optimum habitat for wildlife) and the ethical considerations (e.g., 'unfair' advantage over wildlife, unnatural genetics and disease susceptibility) of game farming.
(f)	Investigate ecotourism and related job opportunities (e.g., interpreter, and hunting and fishing guide) in Saskatchewan.
(g)	Research and explain the competencies (e.g., knowledge of game patterns, safety precautions and local regulations) required to be a hunting or fishing guide.

(j)	Research environmental technicians' contributions (e.g., identify wildlife, population planning and land planning) to the consulting industry.
(k)	Describe the responsibilities (e.g., chemical testing, pollution tracking and population counting) that are characteristic of careers in the field of environmental monitoring.
(l)	Explain the contributions of careers in environmental non-government organizations to the search and monitoring of wildlife data.
(m)	Investigate the roles and training requirements of a wildlife rescuer or wildlife rehabilitator.
