Are there conservation-related jobs in South America or Africa to an American without a related degree?
I have a Bachelor's degree, but it's in business. I also don't have any relevant work experience. However, I don't care about making a lot of money, and I'm not picky about the exact type of job. I don't even know where to begin looking for more information, so thanks for any at all!

Good! But I think you can try to find a job from various non-profitable organisations for such kind of works. Even the Govt should have some department for this. I am sure this will be available in many countries.

You would most likely be able to find volunteer work with animals in countries in Africa and S. America, but if you want to be paid at all you would need a related degree. You might be able to get a job with your business degree working for an animal related organization or non-profit so that you would be helping animals but not necessarily working with them first hand. Take a look at these sites..they are mostly for people with degrees in this field..but they do occassionally post volunteer work and internships: http://wfsc.tamu.edu/jobboard/ http://www.osnabirds.org/on/ornjobs.htm
