We have shared our work developing *4pop models, applying them to real-world conservation challenges and exploring biodiversity-inclusive decision-making at many different events organised by many different organisations.
Listed below are some of the events we have been involved with so far. For joint presentations and events involving multiple *4pop presenters/presentations, we list the names of all presenters underneath.
If you would like us to share our work at your event, please get in touch.
