I am thinking of a relatively stable/prosperous bird-paradise where one may be able to find a job in ecotourism or wildlife research… or, to begin with, as a resident environmental scientist / nature blogger in some wildlife lodge?

Late last month, while searching for bears , woodpeckers and spirits of Greece, I deliberately avoided checking any news, especially from my home country. A different research says, from 2002 to 2011 the known populations of forest elephants declined by 62%. Every now and then, I need to cut the world off and clear my mind.
