ESA's Environment Committment
The ESA's long term aim is to reduce our overall ecological footprint in all areas of operation throughout the Society. Progress will be assessed annually at each Council planning day.
Please see the Environmental Commitment policy for more information.
If you have any comments or queries about this policy, please contact the ESA's Executive Officer.
We welcome your input.
Are you thinking about leaving a Bequest to the Society?
The ESA are currently accepting Bequests from members who would like to support the Jill Landsberg Trust Fund's purpose. The Trust supports research in applied ecology.
The ESA are also pursuing advice with regard to other types of Bequests. If you have any questions about leaving a bequest to the Society, please contact the ESA's Executive Officer in the first instance.

THIS GUIDE IS BEING UPDATED IN 2008
ESA members have offered their expertise in a wide range of ecological subjects to be contacted for comment and analysis by journalists. This is a resource that will continue to be developed as ESA works to disseminate good science to the public and policy makers.
