To support the recent release of ESA's Election Message, we now have available a set of resources to help you engage with your local candidates.

Since its inception in 1959, the ESA has dedicated itself to promoting ecology, supporting the application of ecological principles to protect and conserve ecosystems, and promoting the exchange of ecological knowledge for education and cultural development.

This year, when you renew your membership (or join the ESA) tell us a bit more about yourself and you could win an extra year of ESA Membership. 

Grants of up to $7,500 are available to Australian postgraduate students who are conducting field work on Australian native plants and animals; conservation biology and biodiversity studies; or wildlife management.

Do you know an ecologist whose research contributions deserve recognition, and who should be a household name?

Nominate them for the Australian Ecology Research Award (AERA).

The Wiley Next Generation Ecologist Award is a funding initiative aimed directly at supporting early-career researchers (ECRs) through a research and professional development grant and Plenary opportunity.

Large-scale land clearing is nullifying our carbon abatement efforts, placing native species at higher likelihood of extinction, and is actually increasing the risk of drought and bushfire, according to a statement released today by Australian scientists.

Each year ESA offers a limited number of grants (of up to $1,500) to support ecology related local activities, events, and initiatives around Australia.

Applications are open for the 2019 Jill Landsberg Trust Fund Scholarship – a $6,000 grant to support the field-based research of a postgraduate student working in applied ecology.

The ESA and an anonymous donor are providing an Honours or Masters level student scholarship in the field of applied forest conservation science.

The scholarship supports a student conducting research into issues important to the management and sustainability of forests.
