Agreed! As a mathematician/software engineer I have been looking for environment/ecological projects to work on, but it is really hard to find opportunities.
Does anyone know of good places to find opportunities to work on projects like this one?

The downside is that environmental concerns are largely considered a cost for civil engineering projects so much of your work will involve putting together models the 'prove' that the project under consideration will have a low environmental impact. But occasionally you will get a chance to work on a more 'positive' project as well. Either way it's probably a good place to start and to get experience with the realities of the field.
