Why ELA?
“I chose to be part of ELA because the ecological environment is dynamic and complex and deserves an equally dynamic and progressive approach to care and management. ELA provides this approach and the opportunity for many to start their education on this as well as a platform for experienced professionals to gather and refine their expertise.”
