SER2025 truly embodied ‘Moving from Commitment to Action in Ecological Restoration.’ Its open and collaborative atmosphere made it easy to exchange ideas across disciplines & geographies, reminding us that restoration is not only a science but a collective movement. When we restore nature, nature restores us — it’s ecosystem, not egosystem.

Thank you to the dedicated Conference Organizing Committee

We extend our sincere thanks to the SER2027 Organizing Committee for their dedication, leadership, and commitment to advancing ecological restoration.
