What will I learn?
This practical course teaches you to construct and analyse population models with simple maths tools. You will build discrete simulations in spreadsheets, study exponential and logistic growth, and evaluate scenarios like habitat loss, mortality shifts, and conservation efforts. Gain skills to source reliable data, estimate vital parameters, handle uncertainty, and present findings in clear quantitative reports for practical decisions.
