Ethnobiology in Switzerland – A Network

The Swiss Ethnobiology Network was founded on December 2, 2007 in Lucerne. On January 31, 2009 the first symposium of the network took place in Zurich. Subsequent to the symposium the informal network has been constituted as an association.

We are organized into a board and various working groups. The working groups are responsible for organizing the yearly symposium, our network excursions, and awarding the annual study prize for the best undergraduate work in ethnobiology.
