and economic objectives. Yet how do we know models "actually" improve outcomes for nature? In this talk, I will describe two examples, in fisheries and threatened species management, and explain why the most popular mathematical models/frameworks are biased
against nature conservation, and data collection (i.e.. the employment of people with ecology PhDs). I will argue for a more precautionary approach to maths and modelling for conservation and natural resource management.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
