Ecology - a science that matters

Instead of text book definitions this poster shows students what ecology is by showing what ecologists do. Put together by Dr Margaret Palmer on behalf of the Society's Education, Training and Careers Committee, the poster is packed full of exciting information and pictures on topics like climate change, GM crops and food chains. The hard copy of the poster is A1 size in full colour. Single copies of the poster booklet can be obtained free of charge on receipt of a self-addressed A4 envelope with stamps to the value of 41p from the BES office.

The online version of the poster has lots of exciting extras.
