Aims
The New Zealand Ecological
Society was formed in 1951 to promote the study of ecology and
the application of ecological knowledge in all its aspects.
Through its activities, the society attempts to encourage ecological
research, increase awareness and understanding of ecological
principles, promote sound ecological planning and management
of the natural and human environment and promote high standards
both within the profession of ecology by those practicing it,
and by those bodies employing ecologists.

and students.
