The Officers and Board of INTECOL are delighted to announce
that the 10th International Congress of Ecology will be held in
Brisbane, Australia, 16 - 21 August 2009. The Congress will be
hosted by the Ecological Society of Australia in partnership with
the New Zealand Ecological Society. This is the first time that
an International Congress of Ecology will have been held in the
southern Hemisphere.

As well as the excellent conference facilities provided by the
Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, Queensland
provides outstanding possibilities for congress excursions
including the Great Barrier Reef, Fraser Island, Heron Island,
and the Daintree Rainforest.

The Board extends to the team of Dr. Craig James, the Vice
President of INTECOL, Chair of the Organising Committee and
former President of the Ecological Society of Australia, all their
best wishes for the detailed planning which lies ahead.

Craig and his crew were present at the Montreal Congress with
the 90th Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of America
(ESA), where the Brisbane Congress was announced and advertised.
We hope that many members and supporters of INTECOL will have
the opportunity to communicate with him by e-mail at
