In my professional career spanning roughly a decade, I have been a developer, product manager and a co-founder at small startups.While I have not made a truckload of money, I have made enough to afford a decent living. More importantly I  have realized that accumulating more barely moves my happiness-meter.So I'm looking into areas that I have always loved but haven't really contributed to. Wildlife conservation, oceans and general ecology. And TBH I am clueless where to start looking. Do I get an internship at a research lab, work at a zoo, document flora and fauna?I have recently started course material that is used for master programmes in universities, but that is to build a fudamental understanding of the space.
Any advice/feedback/links would be really appreciated.From the professional career, I have these skills that I think maybe relevant:
- Image processing
- Natural language processing
- Neural networks, ML etc (would rate self 3/5) 
- Web devI also have love for maps and outdoors if that matters.Thank you in advance.
