Hello there!

My name is Jackson Doyel and I have been a wildlife enthusiast for my entire life. Whether it was catching armadillos, feeding manatees, or scuba diving with black spotted morays, wildlife has always been a part of my interests and life goals. I have a Bachelors of science in Biology and a minor in Paleontology from Bowling Green State University. In my time there I found myself slowly migrating westward.

I now work as a wildlife biologist for a nonprofit aimed at protecting the last endemic wild plains bison, the Buffalo Field Campaign. Here I have led ski patrols into the field to document the plights bison face, record ecological data of bison and other wildlife, and help bison cross busy highways. I have educated classes and clubs about the bison issue from the University of Idaho, Yale University, Bowling Green State University, Butler University, University of Montana, and more!

I am attending a dual-masters program at Western Colorado University, earning a M.S. of Science in Ecology, and a Masters in Environmental Management. Here I will continue my research and interest in bison conservation, studying the recent fluctuations in their migratory behaviors. This website serves as a portfolio for my photography and videography work, as well as a showcase of my journey through a career as a Wildlife Biologist.
