About the Course

This course is an introduction to ecology and ecosystem dynamics using a systems thinking lens. Through a case study on Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park, learners will explore how scientists study ecosystems, and investigate the complex array of factors that inform management efforts. At the end of the course, learners will be able to grapple with real-world conservation questions, such as whether an ecosystem can recover from anthropogenic disruption and what role humans can, and should, play in that recovery....

This was particularly in-depth on the sciences of ecology, and having it based around a particular conservation project made it easier to follow each progressive lecture and concept that was explored.

One of the best course, I have ever taken. The materials is not hard to follow and the in-depth explanation gives you a proper new perspective which is still open to debate due to conservation topic

Very efficient course, the transition from ecology to conservation was very smooth, and the connection between those two was explained very well.

This was a great course! One of the best I have done so far. If you are already studying ecolog it deepns some of the core concepts nicely.

It was very enlightening and dealt with real life scenario. Quite tasking though, but it was really worth the time and efforts.
