2002  Environmental Monitoring and Biological Systems - Approaches and Practice
           May 2 - 4, 2002. University of King's College, Halifax, Nova Scotia
              
More and more we need to know whether human activities are having an impact on the environment, and in particular on the biological systems which are such an important part. The controversy over global warming shows, however, that achieving this goal is far from easy. From determining whether industrial activities affect the environment, to showing how a multitude of changes in natural ecosystems are influenced by diverse factors, environmental monitoring of biological systems is an important concern to all biologists.
Environmental monitoring is one of the most challenging pursuits of the modern age. This conference will focus on environmental monitoring with emphasis on biological systems.

2001  The New Millennium: Can Threatened / Endangered Species Recover ?
           February 16 - 17, 2001. The Harbour Centre, Vancouver, British Columbia
   
It's taken less than a thousand years for humans to place the species and ecosystems of the world in peril, and still less than that to understand what we have done, and to take steps to fix it. We're at a turning point and our choices now will have a profound impact on our world and the species that live within it. What is to become of them, and is there hope we can stop the devastating spiral and turn it around?
This annual conference will have both sessions focused on issues relating to species at risk, and general forums for CSEB members to present current work and activities in environmental and ecological science.
The conference will culminate in a roundtable discussion which will gather ideas on a strategy for endangered species in Canada, which we will submit to the Federal Government.

1999  Conservation Biology in the New Millennium: Changing Distributions of Life
           September 29-October 1, 1999. Hart House, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario

The 1999 CSEB Annual Meeting has been designed to constructively review conservation biology goals, processes, achievements, and failures; particularly as they apply to resource development and management.
The Annual Meeting will contribute to an increased understanding of the topic areas and improvements in the processes. Sessions will consist of both invited and contributed papers as oral or poster presentations with subsequent publication of proceedings. Members and non-members of the Society with interests in these matters are encouraged to attend.

1998  Assessment and Impacts of Megaprojects
           October 1-3, 1998. St. John's, Newfoundland

The 1998 CSEB Annual Meeting is being designed to constructively review environmental assessment goals, processes, achievements,and failures.
It is hoped that results of the meeting will contribute to an increased understanding of the topic areas and improvements in the processes. Sessions will consist of both invited and contributed papers as oral or poster presentations.

1997  Fish and Wildlife Research & Management - Applying Emerging Technologies
           September 28-30, 1997. Edmonton, AB

Technology may be a dirty word to those who care about the environment. But biologists have adapted technologies to better learn about and understand the complex natural world.
From data collection to analysis to management of environmental problems, CSEB97 will examine these innovative applications of technologies that are changing the face of research in fisheries, wildlife and related natural sciences.
