The Ecological Society of America

The Ecological Society of America (ESA) is a professional organization dedicated to the study and promotion of ecology, the science that examines how living organisms interact with each other and their environments. Founded in 1915, the ESA supports research, education, and communication about ecological science to improve our understanding of ecosystems and address environmental challenges. It publishes scientific journals, hosts conferences, and provides resources for scientists, educators, and the public to foster awareness and conservation of natural resources, promoting sustainable practices to protect the planet’s ecosystems for future generations.
