Since 2004 P&W provides a forum for human-wildlife conflict issues, promoting non-lethal, innovative solutions, information exchange between practitioners, and a network that brings together experts, managers, institutions and the communities affected by conflict. We invite you to use the P&W e-list, P&W Notice Board and P&W Database to exchange information and lessons, and to contact and interact with colleagues. ... [Information of the supplier]
iEMSs (we pronounce it "eye-em-es") is a not-for-profit organization uniting private persons and organizations dealing with environmental modelling, software and related topics. The aims of the iEMSs are to: (1) develop and use environmental modelling and software tools to advance the science and improve decision making with respect to resource and environmental issues. This places an emphasis on interdisciplinarity and the development of generic frameworks and methodologies which integrate models and software tools across issues, scales, disciplines and stakeholders with respect to resource and environmental issues; (2) promote contacts among physical, social and natural scientists, economists and software developers from different countries and coordinate their activities; (3) improve the cooperation between the sciences and decision makers/advisors on environmental matters; (4) exchange information in the field of environmental modelling and software among scientific and educational organizations and private enterprises, as well as non-governmental organizations and governmental bodies. ...

The German network for long term ecological research is intended to be a platform for communication, documentation and collaboration of scientists in long-term, system-oriented and interdisciplinary environmental research in Germany. LTER-D is a member in the international umbrella organisation of LTER (ILTER, www.ilternet.edu). It is an open network, which defines itself exclusively by the commitment of the members to their shared goals. Long-term approaches are particularly important in investigations of environmental changes, because such changes usually occur only gradually and with larger temporal fluctuations overlying the trend. Under such circumstances, only an adequately long observation period can be a sound basis to secure results and to support prognoses. The German LTER is still in the starting phase. The first workshop for mutual information and orientation was held in Duderstadt, central Germany, 24-26 March 2004. At this meeting, scientists from the institutions in Germany, which perform long-term ecological research in all relevant ecosystem types from the high mountains to the Wadden Sea, presented their concepts and results. The diversity, quality and potential of German LTER showed up clearly, and in future it will be further augmented by integrating LTER-D into the global ILTER-process. ...

The International Society for Ecological Modelling (ISEM) promotes the international exchange of ideas, scientific results, and general knowledge in the area of the application of systems analysis and simulation in ecology and natural resource management. The Society was formed in Denmark in 1975, and today has chapters in Europe, Japan, and North America. ISEM sponsors conferences, symposia, and workshops that promote the systems philosophy in ecological research and teaching, and in the management of natural resources. The Society publishes the newsletter ECOMOD, and its members frequently contribute articles to the official scientific journal of the Society, Ecological Modelling. Also see the ISEM Europe website. ... [Information of the supplier]
