About this network
The Latin American Landscape Research Network connects researchers and practitioners working across Latin America, creating a platform for exchange on landscape issues emerging from diverse social, cultural and environmental contexts. The network supports regionally grounded research while strengthening connections with the wider international Landscape Research Group community.
The network provides a space for collaborative discussion, knowledge sharing and the development of research themes relevant to Latin American landscapes. These may include relationships between people and territory, cultural and ecological understandings of landscape, and the pressures shaping landscapes across urban, rural and environmental contexts. The network encourages dialogue across disciplines and supports connections between research, practice and policy.
Activities may include informal discussions, seminars, collaborative exchanges and opportunities to share research, publications and events. The network also supports connections between institutions across Latin America and beyond, helping to build partnerships and strengthen visibility for landscape research emerging from the region. The network forms part of wider landscape research exchange across the Americas and internationally.
Participation is open to researchers and practitioners interested in landscape research across Latin America. Spanish and Portuguese are used as working languages, with English contributions welcomed where possible.
