Life on Earth: Preserving, Utilizing and Sustaining Our Ecosystems.

At no other time in human history has it been more important to understand and sustain the ecosystems in which we live. To preserve biological diversity (ecosystems, species, and genes) we need to focus on informed, sustainable utilization at the landscape scale. Portland, as the site for the 2012 Ecological Society of America annual meeting, is an ideal match for this theme. Find registration and hotel infomation on the event website.
