    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

    Just the right amount of new information. Doesn't get boring.

    Don't get intimidated by the maths in week 2. The test is about general understanding, not equations.
