SER (Society for Ecological Restoration) International meetings provide an essential international forum for scientists and practitioners who look to restoration as a means to conserve the planet's dwindling biodiversity and failing ecosystems.

These meetings provide a critical platform to assist us in defining the principles of restoration, understanding goals and milestones, debating what ecosystem functions to measure and closing the gap between the science of restoration ecology and the practice of ecological restoration.

With a focus on Making Change in a Changing World , the local conference organising committee hopes to engage the debate on the impact of a changing world on our restoration capabilities. With this focus, SER International 2009 aims to accommodate as many interests as possible.

The meeting will host an array of themes representing current research and global restoration practice. Themes that are relevant, of high focus and contemporary in Australia will also be part of the SER International 2009 program.

The details of the conference are as follows:

Date: Sunday 23 August - Thursday 27 August 2009
Venue: Perth Convention Exhibition Centre (PCEC)
