As the scale and acceleration of climate change become apparent, Global Warming is arguably viewed now as the key driver for the ‘carousel of 21st Century Challenges’. Both as a means of understanding the future causes of environmental degradation, and in providing opportunities for remediation, ecological restoration is among the most important activities available to us. How we apply ecological restoration is a matter of adaptation and survival that will define our resilience. SER2015 will take the concepts, the tangible manifestations and the practical applications of resilience as the main theme to explore the cutting-edge developments in and impacts of restoration ecology. The programme will focus on four key strands – science, culture, arts and education – providing an integrated whole view of the ecological challenges we face. The conference will be held at Manchester Central, in Manchester city centre. ... [Information of the supplier]

We proudly invite you to Cape Town for the 8th World Conference on Ecological Restoration from 22-27 September 2019, jointly hosted by the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) and the South African Water Research Commission. The conference theme for SER2019 is Restoring Land, Water & Community Resilience. Inspired in part by the South African experience with Working for Water and related initiatives, the theme is intended to help keep discussion about developments in restoration research, practice, and policy focused on the big picture. Conference sessions will be organized around a number of regionally and globally important sub-themes, and will include symposia, workshops, and open sessions, as well as plenary sessions and a dedicated poster session. One of the principal sub-themes of the program will focus on how ecological restoration can help improve water supply and water security – not only in a severely drought-impacted region like the Western Cape, but in ecosystems and landscapes all over the world as climate change and degradation increasingly threaten water resources. ...

SER organizes biennial world conferences and regional chapter meetings in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australasia, and Latin America where academics, practitioners, and students come together to exchange ideas, showcase their work, forge new alliances and participate in workshops, field trips and other educational activities. SER2013 is the 5th SER World Conference on Ecological Restoration and the 21st Annual Meeting since the Society’s founding in 1988. The first SER conference was held in Oakland, California in 1989, and this began a series of annual meetings that continued until 2005. That year, the Society switched to a biennial conference cycle with a broader international focus, celebrating the 1st World Conference on Ecological Restoration in Zaragoza, Spain. The 2nd World Conference was held in 2007 in San Jose, California; the 3rd in Perth, Australia in 2009; and the 4th in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico in August 2011. Madison, Wisconsin provides an ideal setting in which to celebrate the Society’s 5th World Conference and 25th Anniversary, as it was here that SER was originally founded and here that the science and practice of ecological restoration first began with the pioneering philosophies and early experiments of Aldo Leopold, Theodore Sperry and others. This rich history, coupled with the pressing need for restoration to play an ever more important role in informing land management and policy decisions, forms the basis for the SER2013 conference theme: Reflections on the Past, Directions for the Future. ...

Die Stiftung (Kurzbezeichnung "Loki Schmidt Stiftung") ist als Stiftung bürgerlichen Rechts mit Sitz in Hamburg bundesweit tätig. Sie ist hervorgegangen aus einer Fusion der zuvor als Hamburgische Landesstiftung bestehenden Stiftung Naturschutz Hamburg (gegründet 1985/1986 unter maßgeblicher Beteiligung des damaligen Präses der Hamburger Umweltbehörde und heutigen Stiftungsratsvorsitzenden Senator a. D. Wolfgang Curilla) und der 1979 vom heutigen Vorstandsmitglied Loki Schmidt ins Leben gerufenen Stiftung zum Schutze gefährdeter Pflanzen, deren Vorläufer, das Kuratorium zum Schutze gefährdeter Pflanzen, bereits seit 1976 tätig war. Ausschließlicher und unmittelbarer Zweck der Stiftungsarbeit ist die materielle und ideelle Förderung des Schutzes von Natur und Landschaft sowie der Umweltbildung. Die Stiftung will damit zur Erhaltung der Pflanzen- und Tierwelt sowie der natürlichen Lebensgrundlagen beitragen. Die Stiftung ist in erster Linie operativ tätig, d.h. Durchführung eigener Projekte auf Stiftungsflächen. Ein Schwerpunkt ist der Betrieb der Naturschutz-Informationshäuser Fischbeker Heide und Boberger Niederung. Nur in geringem Umfang können auch Massnahmen von Naturschutzvereinen und -verbänden in und um Hamburg gefördert werden. ... [Information des Anbieters]

The Nature Conservancy's mission is to preserve the plants, animals and natural communities that represent the diversity of life on Earth by protecting the lands and waters they need to survive. We have developed a strategic, science-based planning process, called Conservation by Design, which helps us identify the highest-priority places—landscapes and seascapes that, if conserved, promise to ensure biodiversity over the long term. ...
