Dear all, it is with great pleasure that I share with you the announcement of the IUFRO Division 8 conference "Forests as Hubs of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in the Anthropocene". This conference, hosted by Centro de Investigación en Ecosistemas de la Patagonia (CIEP), will take place from 24 to 27 March 2026 in Coyhaique, Patagonia, Chile. We are certain that this will be a great conference where we expect the Landscape Ecology WP community to be particularly active. Please share this announcement within your networks ("save the date" flyer attached). More information soon.
