18.03.2012

The Workshop “Monitoring the Effects of Climate Change in Protected Ecosystems” is going to take place on 19, 20 and 21 March 2012 at the FAO Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean, in Santiago de Chile. Ranging from Mexico to the Land of Fire in Argentina, the mountains in Latin America are home to millions of people, living in big cities and rural areas. Climate warming is particularly affecting the extremely fragile and interconnected mountain ecosystems. This workshop aims to produce scientific information which will feed into the formulation of policies and strategies in the region. Experts from the region are taking part, including a representative of the Mountain Partnership Secretariat, Dora Arévalo. More information including the agenda of the three days is online.
