We look forward to sharing research findings at the upcoming 2024 Society of Ethnobiology Annual Conference, April 24–27, 2024, in St. Louis, MO.

The annual Ethnobiology Conference brings together people from an extraordinarily rich variety of backgrounds, disciplines, and geographic locations, all seeking to understand the myriad interactions of human cultures with plants and animals, past and present, worldwide.
