The group of landscape ecology belonging to
IUFRO (International Union of Forest Research
Organizations) (IUFRO 8.01.02 Working Party on
Forest Landscape Ecology) and IALE (International
Association of Landscape Ecology), in conjunction
with the University of La Frontera and the Catholic
University of Temuco invited to participate at the
Latin American Congress of IUFRO Landscape
Ecology and the Second Latin American Congress
of IALE to be held in the city of Temuco (Province
of Cautín, Chile) from November 28 to December 2,
2016, under the theme:
“Bringing our society to the nature: conservation, management
and restoration of multi-functional landscapes”.
The event aims to foster communication and
exchange of experiences and knowledge in
technical and scientific, methodological and
practical aspects relating to conservation,
management and restoration of natural landscapes
throughout Latin America. The event will serve
as a platform for institutions, professionals,
researchers and students interested in landscape
ecology to interact and share experiences on
current research topics, practical experiences and
policy implementation.

Thematic
Areas
Landscape ecology is a discipline that has gained
importance in recent years, although it was
proposed as a discipline over 70 years ago. But the
need for studies on variations in the landscape
at different levels, not just space also temporary,
widespread application in the most diverse areas
of knowledge and all the diverse ecosystems on
the planet. It is a discipline that combines from
biology to geography within a framework of social
sciences, emphasizing the role of men within the
ecosystem.
The growing economic development of Latin
American countries and increasing social
inclusion policies implemented generates broader
impacts on natural ecosystems. This creates
new challenges for society, where proposals
for management and conservation should be
harmonized, and where political restoration of the
affected landscapes should be prioritized in order
to recover and maximize the ecosystem services
that ecosystems provide to our present society
and future.
To achieve these goals have been proposed the
following areas:
1. Land use, biodiversity loss and fragmentation
2. Ecosystem management: Integrating ecological and economic models
3. Mapping and assessment of ecosystems and their services
4. Adapting to climate change in managed and natural landscapes
5. Synergies and trade-off of plantations
6. Impact of invasive species on landscape and human well-being
7. Recovering biodiversity and ecosystem services through landscape
restoration
8. Social-ecological approach for ecosystem services management
