ISE Board Group

The ISE is committed to achieving a greater understanding of the complex relationships, both past and present, that exist within and between human societies and their environments. The Society endeavors to promote a harmonious existence between humankind and the Bios for the benefit of future generations. Ethnobiologists recognize that Indigenous Peoples, traditional societies, and local communities are critical to the conservation of biological, cultural and linguistic diversity. The vision of the ISE is reflected in its Code of Ethics, to which all Members are bound.

 

The ISE is governed by a constitution (ISE Constitution) and guided by the work of a voluntary Board of Directors made up of a President, President-elect, Treasurer, Secretary, and four Regional Representatives for Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe (2 year terms). Additionally, the Global Coalation Director and ISE Ethics Committee Chair are appointed by and are active members of the Board. The ISE has one staff person as Coordinator, located in our Vermont-based office, and hosts volunteer interns on an-hoc basis. All ISE Members are welcome to participate on various working committees, which are created as needed. 

The International Society of Ethnobiology (ISE) is a 501(c)3 scientific and educational association located in Vermont, USA and registered in Georgia, USA.
