U.S.-Chile Workshop: Integrating Ecological Sciences and Environmental Ethics: New Approaches to Understanding and Conserving Frontier Ecosystems; Puerto Montt, Chile, March 2007

这项美国-智利奖将用于支持2007年3月在智利蒙特港举行的关于整合生态科学和环境伦理的研讨会。组织者是北德克萨斯大学的里卡多·罗齐博士和智利天主教大学的胡安·阿梅斯托博士。研讨会将探讨了解和保护前沿生态系统的新方法，其目标是形成一个可行的“生态前沿”定义，并澄清这个定义如何有助于为智利西南部和其他地区的前沿生态系统的保护战略、政策制定和土地利用选择提供信息。会议将促进不同群体的高级研究人员、该领域的领导者和年轻研究人员之间的交流，促进将伦理价值观与科学相结合的合作。

This U.S.-Chile award will support a workshop on integrating ecological science and environmental ethics in Puerto Montt, Chile in March of 2007. The organizers are Dr. Ricardo Rozzi of the University of North Texas, and Dr. Juan Armesto of the Universidad Catolica de Chile. The workshop will look at new approaches to understanding and conserving frontier ecosystems, with the goal the generation of a workable definition of "ecological frontier" and the clarification of the questions of how this definition can help inform conservation strategies, policy making and land use options in the frontier ecosystems of southwestern Chile and other regions. The meeting will stimulate communication between a diverse group of senior researchers, leaders in the field, and young researchers with the fostering of collaborations in the integration of ethical values with science.
