Our World Conference on Ecological Restoration is held every other year, with the next event scheduled for August 21-25, 2011, in Mérida, Yucatán, México.
SER2011 will be an important forum for addressing the global challenges of biodiversity and habitat loss, climate change, and sustainable development. It will provide a global venue for professionals, researchers, students and the public to come together, learn and share their knowledge and experiences, and identify practical solutions for restoring nature and sustaining critical ecosystem goods and services.
SER2011 will include the presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research and new developments in the science and practice of ecological restoration, as well as numerous exciting networking opportunities. It will bring together restoration professionals, researchers, and students from diverse backgrounds, including the earth sciences, landscape architecture, ecological engineering, natural resource and land management, public policy and economics, and indigenous peoples and community organizers, and will provide a critical platform to assist us in defining the principles of restoration, understanding its methods and goals, and closing the gap between the science of restoration ecology and the practice of ecological restoration.
SER2011 will feature world-renown keynote and plenary speakers, numerous symposia and training workshops, concurrent scientific sessions, and field trips. Past symposia and sessions have included topics such as:
-
the role of restoration in mitigating and adapting to climate change;
-
reinstating landscape connectivity and reducing fragmentation;
-
threatened and endangered species, populations and habitats;
-
restoring natural capital;
