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.

INFORME DE AVANCE IABIN ECOSYSTEM GRANT: DIGITALIZACIÓN DE DATOS E INFORMACIÓN, DEPURACIÓN Y ESTANDARIZACIÓN DE PISOS DE VEGETACIÓN DE CHILE Patricio Pliscoff, Federico Luebert, Corporación Taller La Era, Santiago, Chile, 30 de Septiembre de 2008. Resumen Se ha ingresado el 50,6% de la información bibliográfica recopilada para el desarrollo de la base de información puntual georeferenciada de inventarios de vegetación. Se ha depurado el 68,5% del total de pisos de vegetación de la cartografía digital. Se ha comenzado el proceso de estandarización de la clasificación de pisos de vegetación con el estándar de metadatos del IABIN, encontrando algunas dificultades en el ingreso de información. Las equivalencias entre pisos de vegetación y sistemas ecológicos ya ha sido finalizada. Abstract The 50.6% of the compiled bibliographic references for the development of the georeferenced database of vegetation inventories have been included. The 68.5% of vegetation belts of the digital cartography have been debbuged and fixed. The standarization process of vegetation belts has been begun, entering data into the IABIN ecosystem standard, finding some difficulties in the information entrance. The equivalences between vegetation belts and ecological systems has already been finished. Objetivos del Proyecto 1) Generación de una base de información puntual georeferenciada de inventarios de vegetación. 2) Depuración de cartografía digital de pisos vegetacionales. 3) Estandarizar la clasificación de Pisos de vegetación con los estándares de metadatos de IABIN y con la clasificación de Sistemas Ecológicos de NatureServe. Productos y resultados esperados De acuerdo con los objetivos mencionados, se espera obtener los siguientes resultados: - Una base de datos georeferenciada de puntos con inventarios de vegetación chilena - Una cartografía depurada de pisos de vegetación de Chile (Luebert & Pliscoff 2006) - Un esquema de equivalencias entre la clasificación de pisos de vegetación de Chile (Luebert & Pliscoff 2006) y la clasificación de sistemas ecológicos de NatureServe (2003). -

The Andean mountain cat (Oreailurus jacobita) in the central Andes: an attempt of status assessment by field interviews. Guillaume Chapron Laboratoire d'Ecologie CNRS, Ecole Normale Supérieure, 46 rue d'Ulm, 75230 Paris Cedex 05, France Very few is known about the Andean mountain cat in the Andes. I was able to conduct a preliminary survey in July 1998 in several protected areas in Chile and Bolivia. Here are the results. The information gathered on its repartition provides basis for further research. Travels by 4x4 covered 3.000 km at an altitude ranging from 2.400 INTRODUCTION to 5.000 m. Average temperatures encountered were 10°C during The Andean mountain cat (Oreailurus jacobita) is one of the the day and -20°C during the night.

It was first described in the genus Felis Natural Monument and Volcan Isluga National Park and, in Region (Cornalia, 1865) and placed later in the newly created genus II, the future Licancabur-Tatio National Park.

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. -
