The Ecological Society of America hosted a gathering of the Presidents of the Ecological Societies of the Americas, in August, 2003. The meeting was attended by representatives of ecological societies and organizations representing ecologists from Argentina, Canada, Chile, Mexico, United States and Venezuela. The objective of this one-day meeting was to explore possibilities for collaboration among ecological societies of the Americas and to seek novel ways to address common goals, needs, and emerging challenges.
A key agreement of the meeting was to form a Federation of the Ecological Societies of the Americas.
Ecological societies from the Americas wishing to be part of the Federation should contact Katherine McCarter, Executive Director, the Ecological Society of America at
