Welcome Travel has been my life for 20 years. St Augustine’s famous quote remains as true to me today as it was when I first set up 2by2 Holidays – “the world is a book and those who do not travel, read only one page”. My first love was Africa, the place of my birth. Its remarkable wildlife and cultures continue to captivate me today. A recent visit to the gorillas of Uganda has starkly reminded me just how fragile the survival of so many endangered species remains. And reinforced my belief that travel must always have conservation at its heart. In recent years I have discovered the joys of travel in the Indian subcontinent and Latin America. The iconic sites and cultures here are no less enthralling. And everywhere wildlife adapts and survives, from harsh barren deserts to cool mountain cloud forests and tropical wetlands. My enthusiasm burns as brightly as ever and I continue to be as involved in every aspect of the business as I always have been, backed up by our superb travel team. I’m particularly thrilled that so many of our customers return time after time. I do hope you find our latest brochure inspiring and we all look forward to hearing from you.

As a local organizing committee, it would be an honor for us to be in charge of both events. As members of the Transport Engineering Division at Universidad de Chile, we have participated in several previous Kuhmo-Nectar Conferences and strongly believe that crossing the Equator and moving the 2016 edition of the ITEA Annual Conference and School to South America presents itself as a matchless opportunity to disseminate, in this part of the world, the state-of-the art in transport economics research and lecturing, which is characteristic of this combined one-week event. -
The Conservation of Biodiversity in Chile
Revista Chilena de Historia Natural 66:383-402, 1993 REVIEW The conservation of biodiversity in Chile La conservaci6n de la biodiversidad en Chile CESARS.ORMAZABAL School of Forestry and Environmental Studies Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut 06511, USA Current Address: Rodas 124, Las Condes, Santiago, Chile ABSTRACT I analyze Chile's biological diversity in terrestrial and marine environments, including information on the magnitude of biodiversity at three levels (ecosystem, species, and genetic). I identify the main values, and the importance of conserving such heritage, making comments about past and current activities of some national institutions interested in biodiversity conservation. I emphasize actions related to increasing and improving knowledge on biodiversity, legislation, some economic and social values, and protection of biodiversity in the field. I identify the main threats to Chile's biodiversity and give recommendations for maintaining and enhancing its conservation. Chile has developed many efforts to avoid biodiversity losses. It has enacted legislation, maintained institutions, and taken actions that favor biological diversity. However, some of the policies, legislation, and actions have been too specific, disperse, and uncoordinated. A system of inter-institutional coordination is urgently required. An efficient approach, through symposia, to identify the most threatened woody plant and terrestrial vertebrate species, was developed. Now, is time to define conservation status for species not included in previous symposia, identify the most threatened species, and begin programs to increase their population size. It is essential to initiate actions concerning the protection of amphibians, reptiles, cacti, and non-woody terrestrial plants. Also, it is urgent to start conservation activities for aquatic environments. -

CHILE Eksperter i eventyr CHILE Som danskere støder vi dagligt på Chile når vi handler i vores lokale supermar- ked. Fra billig til god vin, frugt og grønt- sager, er bare et lille udpluk af det som vi fylder i vores indkøbskurve fra Chile. Mange har læst Isabel Allendes med- rivende bøger, ikke mindst ”Åndernes hus”, og de fleste midt i livet har også hørt noget omkring en anden berømt Allende og en general ved navnet Pino- chet, det var med til at berige Danmark med flygtninge efter et kup tilbage i 1973. Alt dette har nok givet os en svag forestilling om, hvad der venter den be- søgende som måtte begive sig til Chile; Men at beskrive en så stor rigdom for- delt over 4000 km i længden og kun 400 km i bredden er en formidabel op- gave. I det følgende vil vi dog forsøge at give et indblik. Chile er mere nøjagtigt 4.300 km langt - eller som fra Danmark til Gran Canaria. Forskellene mellem klima og natur vari- erer som mellem Norge og Afrika. Chile er i sandhed landet med høje bjerge, dybe søer, frodige dale, brændende ørkner, grønne skove, hede kilder, bru- sende vandfald, mægtige vulkaner og fascinerende historiske byer og øer, som for eksempel den legendariske På- skeø. Landet med alle disse uimodståelige op- levelser af enhver art har i årevis tiltruk- ket og fascineret både den aktive turist og dem, der søger fredsommelig idyl i de mange smukke naturparker. Chile taler til hjertet af den rejsende med trekkingstøvlerne på, hvor bjergene kun venter på at blive udforsket. -
Epiphytic Lichens of Conguillío National Park, Southern Chile
Gayana Bot. 70(1):70(1), 201366-81, 2013 ISSN 0016-5301 Epiphytic lichens of Conguillío National Park, southern Chile Líquenes epífi tos en el Parque Nacional Conguillío, sur de Chile CECILIA RUBIO1*, MARCELO SAAVEDRA2, MAURICIO CUÉLLAR1, RODRIGO DÍAZ1 & WANDA QUILHOT1 1 Herbario de Líquenes UV, Departamento de Química y Recursos Naturales, Facultad de Farmacia, Universidad de Valparaíso. 2 Corporación Nacional Forestal, Región de la Araucanía, Bilbao 931, 2º piso, Temuco. *[email protected] ABSTRACT One hundred and thirty eight epiphytic lichen species in 40 genera, are recorded from Conguillio National Park (38º30’- 38º50’ S; 71º30’-71º55’ W), with predominancy of typically southern South American species. Lichen diversity is high, about 9 % of the lichen mycobiota from Chile, due mainly to species of the genera Bunodophoron, Menegazzia, Nephroma, Pannaria, Protousnea and Pseudocyphellaria. Levels of endemism are rather high (nearly 40 %); also austral and cosmopolitan species, about 19 % and 16 % respectively, are the most representative biogeographical elements in the Park. KEYWORDS: Endemism, epiphytes, lichens, phorophytes, wild protected areas. RESUMEN Se registran para la micobiota liquénica epífi ta en el Parque Nacional Conguillío (38º30’- 38º50’ S; 71º30’ - 71º55’ W) 183 especies en 40 géneros con predominancia de especies típicas del sur de Sudamérica. La diversidad es elevada, alrededor del 9 % de la fl ora liquénica del país debido, principalmente, a especies de los géneros Bunodophoron, Menegazzia, Nephroma, Pannaria, Protousnea and Pseudocyphellaria.

Lichens of Aisen, Southern Chile
Gayana Bot. 69(1): 57-87, 2012 ISSN 0016-5301 Lichens of Aisen, Southern Chile Líquenes de Aisén, sur de Chile WANDA QUILHOT, MAURICIO CUELLAR, RODRIGO DÍAZ, FRANCISCO RIQUELME & CECILIA RUBIO Herbario de Líquenes UV, Departamento de Química y Recursos Naturales, Facultad de Farmacia, Universidad de Valparaíso, Casilla 5001, Valparaíso, Chile. [email protected] ABSTRACT The lichen mycobiota of Aisen (southern Chile) comprises 319 taxa in 87 genera. All of the species of Menegazzia and Protousnea, previously recorded in Chile, are present in this region. The diversity of biomes, from temperate rainforests −particularly in oceanic zones− to steppe areas, offers an enormous number of macro and microhabitats favorable for lichens. The highest lichen diversity, 56 %, was recorded in an undisturbed locality in Laguna San Rafael National Park. Lichen species diversity is higher in oceanic temperate rainforests than in steppe areas, where the majority of Antarctic lichens (23 %) are registered. Levels of endemism are rather high (26 %) and are due mainly to species of the genera Protousnea, Pseudocyphellaria, Menegazzia, Cladonia, Sticta, Nephroma. Other biogeographical elements in the región’s lichen mycobiota are: cosmopolitan (16 %), austral (16 %) and bipolar (13 %). Lichen diversity in Aisen represents about 20 % of the known lichen mycobiota of Chile. KEYWORDS: Lichen diversity, endemism, steppe areas, biogeography. RESUMEN La micobiota liquénica de la Región de Aisén incluye 319 especies en 87 géneros; el número total de especies de los géneros Menegazzia y Protousnea registrados en Chile se encuentran en esta región. La diversidad de biomas, desde bosques templado-lluviosos, particularmente en zonas oceánicas, a áreas estepáricas, ofrece una variedad de macro y microhabitats favorables para los líquenes. -

NAVARRO C.3 MIGUEL ANGEL HERRERA M.3 Management AND MANUEL TORAL IBAÑEZ1 of the Chilean 1 Departamento de Manejo de Recursos Forestales, Universidad de Chile, Santa Rosa 11.315, Palm (Jubaea Comuna de la Pintana, Santiago de Chile, Chile [email protected] chilensis): [email protected] 2 Departamento de Ciencias Ecológicas, Institute of Ecology History, and Biodiversity, Universidad de Chile, Las Palmeras 3425, Comuna de Ñunoa, Santiago de Current Chile, Chile [email protected] 3 Departamento de Ingeniería Situation and Forestal, Universidad de Córdoba, Edf. Leonardo de Vinci s/n Campus de Rabanales 14071 Córdoba, Spain Perspectives [email protected], [email protected] The Chilean palm, Jubaea chilensis (Front Cover), one of the most emblematic tree species of the Chilean flora, has suffered a gradual reduction of its population numbers in the last 150 years, with the estimated 120,000 palms that exist today being no more than 2.5% of the existing population found at the beginning of the 19th Century. From an economic point of view, this plant has been one of the most prized species in the central zone of Chile due to its two valuable products – its sap, the basis of the traditional palm honey industry, and its seeds (mini-coconuts), which are also an important product for the food industry. Along with a history of extensive use, there has been a drastic reduction of the accompanying native vegetation due to anthropogenic activities, thus reducing the appropriate habitats for the natural regeneration of this species.
