The Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) is a conservation organization based in the United States, supporting a "global community of restoration professionals that includes researchers, practitioners, decision-makers, and community leaders".[1] The organization was founded in 1988.[1] The mission of the organization is to: "advance the science, practice and policy of ecological restoration to sustain biodiversity, improve resilience in a changing climate, and re-establish an ecologically healthy relationship between nature and culture."[2]

SER produces definitions and standards for the practice of ecological restoration, including the SER International Primer on Ecological Restoration (2004),[3] International Standards for the Practice of Ecological Restoration (2016),[4][5][6] and a certification program for professionals: Certified Ecological Restoration Practitioner (CERP).[7]
