Last Wednesday 14 Juny 2017 we took part in the workshop “Peatlands: update and challenges” in Santiago, presenting about our initiative “Mires of Chile”.
There we had a fruitful exchange with colleages working on peatlands conservation, restauration and investigation, like Verónica Pancotto (CADIC – CONICET-Argentina), Carolina León (Universidad Bernardo O’Higgins), Christel Oberpaur (Universidad Santo Tomás), Ariel Valdés (Universidad de Chile), Rubén Carrillo (Universidad de la Frontera), Erwin Domínguez (INIA Kampenaike Magallanes), Leonardo Fernández (Universidad Bernardo O’Higgins) and Roy MacKenzie (Parque OMORA-Universidad de Magallanes). We hope this meeting will give place to new synergies and cooperative works for the protection of these ecosystems and their key functions for climate change prevention.
