You could meet your career goals with a degree in any of the three fields - I’ve seen it done. But some jobs are specifically looking for a specialist in a particular field. And there is always Grad. School to further focus on an area. Have you mentioned you career goals to your instructors?

Geology coursework will take you in a different direction, than, say, Conservation Biology, but there is overlap at the Undergaduate level. Look at possible volunteer work/internships to get ideas.

I’ll suggest that you work on your writing and GIS skills in addition to coursework. And I will aldo suggest that you take some Chemistry and Physics in addition to Calc. Sounds like you’re off to a good start!
