Hi Virginia, Apparently you can download the PowerPoint app for phones from Google Play.

Why do you think conservationists think that killing introduced predators is the only solution?

Welcome Stéphanie, You are the first student who knows about the 2050 goal. In Week 3 we deal with a forest ecological restoration project in Nelson that has to control predators. I am really looking forward to reading your thoughts on the methods they use. By the way, I studied French for a year in Chicoutimi (UQAC) some years ago.
