EcoSummit 2012 First Announcement

Ecosystems such as streams, rivers, inland and coastal wetlands, grasslands, and forests provide numerous services that fundamentally support human health and well-being. EcoSummit 2012 will bring together the world's most respected minds in ecological science to discuss restoring and protecting the planet's ecosystem services.

Come hear Nobel Prize laureate Elinor Ostrom, Pulitzer Prize winners  E.O. Wilson and Jared Diamond, Kyoto Prize winner Simon Levin, Stockholm Water Prize laureates Sven Jørgensen and Bill Mitsch, and many others in the first conference ever linking the Ecological Society of America (ESA), The International Association for Ecology (INTECOL) and the Society for Ecological Restoration International (SER).

Our aim is to provide a high-­profile platform for dialogue among researchers, planners and decision-­makers to develop a better understanding of the complex nature of ecological systems and the means to protect and enhance their services.
