The International Association for Landscape Ecology warmly invites you to our 17th Annual Meeting.

Landscape ecology is the study of interactions, across space and time, between the structure and function of physical, biological and cultural components of landscapes; marine, freshwater, and on land.

We aim to bring together scientists from the many fields in landscape ecology with policy makers, planners and practitioners interested in developing future landscapes that function for both biodiversity and people.

Now more than ever, there is a need to consider future landscapes and future demands on landscape ecology. Biodiversity is critical both for its intrinsic value and the key role it plays in providing ecosystem services upon which we all ultimately depend. Yet competing economic uses of land, water resources and the marine environment are leading to continued loss of biodiversity and degradation of natural systems.

How can landscape ecology help us to address these future challenges?

Comprehensive proceedings, published in book format, will be given to all delegates on arrival. There will be two days of presentations on science, policy and practice, networking events and workshops, followed by field trips to landscape-scale projects.

With the recent designation of the South Downs National Park, Brighton and Hove makes an ideal and timely location for this conference. We are very grateful to Dr Dawn Scott and the Biogeography and Ecology Research Group at Brighton University for hosting this exciting conference and hope you will be able to join us.
