8.01.02 - Landscape ecology
Upcoming IUFRO Landscape Ecology Working Party Webinar!
Forests and forest products: the use of native species and the role of sociobiodiversity in Latin America
online; 23 August 2022, 15:00 CEST.
In the sixth webinar of the series, guests Juana Palma (Chile), Rene Camacho (Colombia) and Henrique Pereira (Brazil) and host Sónia Carvalho Ribeiro (IUFRO LE WP co-coordinator for Latin America), will present case studies and discuss the role of forests and forest products, particularly non-timber forest products (NTFP) and the use of biodiversity in traditional livelihoods and the economy (national and international). They will also address issues related to data available for assessing NTFPs role and to policy, as well as other topics of interest for both Latin America and international audiences.

IUFRO Landscape Ecology Working Party Webinar – Mark your calendars!
Urban Green Infrastructure: How can urban green infrastructure contribute to pandemic and climate resilience?"
17 November 2020, 15:00-16:00 CET
How can landscape ecologists enable green infrastructure to play a more active role in avoiding and responding to pandemics and climate change? How can green infrastructure contribute to urban resilience? These are some of the issues to be addressed by the IUFRO Landscape Ecology Working Party in this webinar, the second of a series dealing with major current and future topics that are relevant for the landscape ecology and related communities, with the contribution of outstanding scientists with a global and integrative perspective of science and society.

Webinar by IUFRO Working Party 8.01.02 – Landscape Ecology
Landscape ecology and the covid-19 pandemics
24 June 2020, 15:00-16:00 CET.
The debate around the COVID-19 pandemic has raised several questions regarding how zoonoses are transmitted from ecosystems to humans, how diseases spread within human societies, over regions and across continents, and how effective are measures that countries and communities adopt to fight pandemics. Most of these issues have a strong spatial socioecological component.
Landscape ecology, both conceptually and methodologically, has the potential to play an active role in explaining, describing and forecasting the emergence and spread of zoonoses, to inform decision-making on sustainable measures to minimize their spread and to build spread safe landscapes. This is a research opportunity for landscape ecology but mostly it is an opportunity for landscape ecologists to be actively involved in the development of solutions for evolving societal problems.
These are the main issues to be addressed by the IUFRO Landscape Ecology Working Party in this webinar, the first of a series dedicated to emerging issues in landscape ecology and society, with the contribution of outstanding scientists with a global and integrative perspective of science and society.
