With a focus on Making Change in a Changing
World, the local conference organising committee hope
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.
Still hoping for some webcasts!

Scholarly publications are too often an esoteric, expensive bunch of journals that offer little to no access for those without academic institution affiliations. There is a growing movement for more open-source, open-access methods of sharing scholarly work: Creative Commons licenses, data wikis, free online journals, etc. One of the most relevant of the last category is Ecology and Society, an online and print journal that focuses on the intersections of the natural and built environments through their related disciples (e.g. ecology, urban planning, anthropology). The latest issue covers a great deal of important issues in Latin American resource management and urbanization; Volume 13, issue 2 available here:

Archives are fully available and searchable online. Enjoy.
