The British Ecological Society

The British Ecological Society (BES) is a professional organization dedicated to promoting the study and understanding of ecology, which is the science of how living organisms interact with each other and their environment. Founded in 1913, BES supports research, shares knowledge through conferences and publications, and encourages collaboration among ecologists. It aims to address environmental challenges and inform policy for sustainable practices. By fostering communication and education, BES plays a key role in advancing ecological science and its applications for the benefit of both nature and society.
