On 28 June 2023 the GLP Working Group for Socio-Ecological Land Systems in Latin America and the GLP Nodal Office for Latin America presented the newly-created Network of Andean Social-Ecological Observatories (funded by the ESA-Future Earth Joint Program), that integrates the social-ecological monitoring efforts of the region. Currently, the network has partners from every Andean country, but it is open to integrate further partners who can contribute to the monitoring efforts.
The webinar had three sections:
1) María Piquer-Rodríguez provided an introduction to the origins of the Network (SLIDES).
2) Julieta Carilla presented the bases of the Network (SLIDES).
3) Lucía Zarbá presented preliminary results of a map of Social-Ecological Land Systems of the Andes and the existing monitoring efforts (SLIDES).
The presentations were followed by Q&A and discussion.
