Justin Doornbusch

I'm a Junior Wildlife Biologist and Conservationist with practical and academic experience looking to further develop my skills.

I’ve worked on field projects with the Nova Scotia DNR and managed the Community Cat Program at the Hamilton Burlington SPCA. My background combines hands-on wildlife care, species monitoring, and public outreach. I also bring experience in veterinary support, youth education, and leadership through roles like umpire-in-chief. I’m certified in chemical immobilization, SCUBA, and wilderness first aid, and I’m especially interested in practical, community-focused conservation across Canada.

I have finished my Master of Wildlife Biology from the University of Guelph, where I focused on wildlife conservation, applied field research, and environmental policy. My studies emphasized species monitoring, environmental monitoring, and inclusive approaches to conservation leadership. I also have an Honours Bachelor of Science in Animal Biology with a minor in History, which adds a strong social and cultural lens to my conservation work.
