What will I learn?
This practical course teaches building and interpreting population models with simple maths tools. Learners create spreadsheet simulations, study exponential and logistic growth, and test scenarios like habitat loss, mortality changes, and conservation efforts. Gain skills in sourcing data, estimating parameters, handling uncertainty, and presenting quantitative reports for practical decisions.
