PREFACE

In view of the rapid increase of organizations in the disciplinary areasof ecology, conservation, and environmental sciences, the EnvironmentalSciences Institute of San Jose and the Ecology Center of Berkeley havecompiled a survey of such organizations throughout the United States. Ingeneral, these share similar purposes and goals, but they exhibit differ-ent structures and plans of action. In several instances, there are manyorganizations in the same area which are nearly identical; yet there isno communication between them. In order to exert a maximum effort inattaining their common goals and to avoid duplication of labor and research,perhaps some smaller groups should merge to form relatively few large andpowerful organizations. In addition, close cooperation among large organ-izations is essential in order to eliminate wasteful overlapping andinterference.

The purposes of this survey are to provide the public with valuable infor-mation and to offer scientists, administrators, and citizens communicationchannels. Communication is, in fact, the first step toward cooperativeachievements. This publication could eventually facilitate such cooperationas the exchange of information, personnel, and/or facilities, as well aspromote moral and financial support and the like.

This survey, which is neither annotated nor exhaustive, includes some 350environmental organizations existing throughout the United States throughmid-1970. These organizations are classified according to their structuresand goals into six major categories: (1) college and university centers;(2) nonprofit organizations and associations; (3) citizens' groups; (4)

federal government departments and agencies; (5) professional societiesand academies; and (6) other organizations which includes publishers andjournals as well as science-based industries. Each listing offers the nameof the organization and its address and telephone number in addition to thename of a responsible person and a brief description of its functions andactivities.

This survey will be published on an annual basis in order: to insure thatthe entries are up-dated and accurate. We would be pleased to receiveadditional listing information from those organization which have not beenalready included in this edition. A form is provided for this purpose onpage 60 of this publication.

We are thankful to those listed organizations that cooperated with us inthis effort by allowing us to publish this information. The EnvironmentalSciences Institute is responsible for classifying and compiling all of thepertinent material. Mrs. Donna Vanderzee of the Institute has spent severalmonths verifying the accuracy of this material and editing the entries.Thanks are extended to Miss Rita Townsend, Mr. Ron Kennedy, Miss Patricia

Preston, Miss Linda Young, and Miss Christine Mathews of the EnvironmentalSciences Institute for their assistance in making this publication possible.The Ecology Center is responsible for publishing and distribution of thispublication. This has been accomplished under the uirection of Mr. RaymondR. Balter, the Center's director. We are especially grateful for theassistance of Mrs. Patricia Shayler, as well as for the efforts of MissGail Licht and Miss Barbara Parker of the Ecology Center. Clearly, the

entire project has been the result of a cooperative team effort. In this,

we believe, lies the secret of success of modern ecological endeavors.
