About Federation of the
Ecological Societies of the Americas
- History of the Federation
The Ecological Society of America took a leadership role in reaching
out to the community of ecological scientists in the Americas by
hosting a gathering of the Presidents of the Ecological Societies of
the Americas, August 2, 2003 just prior to the ESA Annual Meeting in
Savannah, Georgia. The meeting was attended by representatives of
ecological societies from Argentina, Canada, Chile, Mexico, United
States and Venezuela. The objective of this one-day meeting was to
explore possibilities for collaboration among ecological societies
of the Americas and to seek novel ways to address common goals,
needs, and emerging challenges. The meeting was designed to allow
each President to briefly describe their society and its mission and
collectively explore common issues, the desirability of future
collaboration, and a process to continue a dialogue.
