Emmanuel Akom Dissertation Defense

Attend Emmanuel Akom's dissertation defense for "Agent Based Simulation Influence of Forest Management on Interactions Between Primates Poachers and Law Enforcement Agents in Ghana" on Thursday, July 9th, from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM EDT.

Learn more about the impacts of illegal hunting and ranger enforcement on primate populations in Ghana's tropical forests. Chapters integrate spatial analysis, agent-based simulation modeling, and conservation planning to examine how poaching pressure and forest management scenarios influence primate persistence, population dynamics, and conservation outcomes.
