British Ecological Society

The British Ecological Society (BES) is a professional organization dedicated to the study and promotion of ecology, which is the science of how living organisms interact with each other and their environment. Founded in 1913, the BES brings together researchers, educators, and practitioners to share knowledge and advance the field of ecology. It supports ecological research, publishes scientific journals, organizes conferences, and promotes the importance of ecological science in understanding and addressing environmental challenges. The society aims to bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and practical application in conservation and sustainable management of natural resources.
