CESE-2010

This is the third international conference in the CESE series, an annual event scheduled in north Queensland; a unique  region located between two World Heritage Areas – the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics rainforest.

Researchers, policy-makers, academics, students and the broader community active in contributing solutions to the myriad of environmental questions posed by the challenges facing ecological sustainability, are invited to meet in Cairns in 2010 to share their knowledge and visions for the future.
