The main stimulus for the Macedonian Ecological Society to organize the Second Congress of the Ecologists of the Republic of Macedonia, was the need for following the achievements of ecology in Macedonia and the other countries in the region, and the need for exchange of experience and knowledge as well as the increased interest in the conditions of the environment and the interest of scientists and experts, but also the general public interest in better, cleaner and healthier environment. The proportionally small scientific community in Macedonia needs organization of a joint congress of basic ecology and environmental science. The Congress will present the knowledge of the modern basic ecology and environmental science accumulated recently. That is the reason why the papers at the Congress will be presented through different thematic sections. Each section will start by presenting case studies chosen by the Scientific Committee from the proposed papers. Apart from this, plenary sessions, prepared by eminent ecologists from Macedonia and other countries will present the achievements of modern ecology.
