Bird species included in model

Pink-footed goose (Anser brachyrhynchus)

Environmental issues simulated

Land use change and human iteration via disturbance affecting habitat area and availability time

Recommendations from modelling

Habitat loss and disturbance impact on pink-footed goose survival depends on proportion of habitat that is exploitable.
