IUFRO Landscape Ecology Webinar
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 responsibility for landscape ecology but mostly it is an obligation 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.
