SUMMARY
In 2007, Dr. Nicholas Oguge (representing Earthwatch Institute, Kenya) and Dr. Nathan Gichuki (representing The School of Biological Sciences, University of Nairobi, Kenya) facilitated a two-day conference aimed at establishing a foundation for an Ecological Society in eastern Africa.  This professional forum was made possible through the generous support of the British Ecological Society as arranged for by Dr. Oguge and Dr. Gichuki.  The conference had the specific goal of addressing ecological concerns for professionals in the eastern African region through:

• Discerning ways to influence policies in the region
• Providing a forum to discuss ecological issues both academic and applied
• Establishing a solid foundation for the creation of an Ecological Society for Eastern Africa
