If you are willing to take the time to learn about rare and endangered species, as well as local and state laws regarding these species, you can offer your services to environmental firms in writing reports.

I have attached a PDF below that is a good place to start the process.
Once you have a good grasp of the needs of these species relative to habitat requirements, you will be prepared to office your report writing skills to an environmental consulting firm.

Normally the consulting firm provides a written draft report with their notes. Your job would be to incorporate the notes into the report.

In California that kind of job goes for about $15/hr.
With a BA or BS the cost goes up to about $35/hr.
With a MA or MS the cost goes up to about $75/hr.

Hence, what you charge will be based on your education and the availability of work.
