SERA2021 provides an interactive forum for physical, biological, and social scientists, practitioners, indigenous ranger groups and traditional owners, engineers, resource managers, planners, and policy makers to share their knowledge, experiences and research concerning terrestrial, aquatic and marine ecosystem restoration on both national and international levels. SERA conferences are held once every two years.

The conference will showcase the foundation, tools and latest research on restoration projects, with a program that includes a combination of keynote, symposium, oral and poster presentations, spanning an array of themes from principles and practice, biomes, impact and specialist disciplines. Presentations that highlight the use of traditional knowledge in restoration are strongly encouraged as is the attendance of indigenous ranger groups and those working on applying traditional knowledge to restoration projects.
