The 46th Annual Conference of the Society of Ethnobiology took place at the University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe on May 21-24. People converged at the campus from around the U.S. and global locales such as India, Nepal, Europe and the Cayman Islands to learn and discuss topics of ethnobiology, an interdisciplinary study that delves into the relationships among peoples, plants and animals, as well as their environments.
The conference was previously held in Reno, Nev. in 1998, and locations worldwide such as British Columbia, Canada, and Oaxaca, Mexico over the years, but this is the first time the conference was held at Lake Tahoe.
“Things converged that made it possible,” conference host, Maria Bruno said, the Society’s vice president.
