Ecological Modeling
Ecological modeling is a tool used by ecologists to better understand the dynamic relationship between environment and wildlife. It is a form of mathematical modeling in which ecologists are able to predict the state of a certain ecosystem using a set of mathematical equations and variables. This method is mainly used to assess the potential effects of environmental change on wildlife populations, and to evaluate the potential management strategies that could be implemented to ensure biodiversity. Ecological modeling is an invaluable tool for conservationists and environmental protection agencies, as it helps them to identify the best way forward to protect a certain species or an entire ecosystem.
