ABOUT
IALE
What Does IALE
Do?
IALE encourages
collaboration between landscape ecologists to work together
to develop theories, knowledge and tools that can help solve real
landscape problems.
IALE Mission
Statement
The International
Association for Landscape Ecology (IALE) aims to develop landscape
ecology as a scientific basic for analysis, planning and management
of landscapes of the world. IALE advances international
co-operation and interdisciplinary synergism within the field,
through scientific, scholarly, education and communication activities.
What is the Importance
of IALE?
Concerns over the
loss of native species both in Australia and world-wide means
that land managers need to consider improved ways of managing
landscapes. Conservation has to be interdisciplinary and
future management has to be directed towards multiple and sustainable
use of the land if it is to be effective. Landscape ecology
provides a set of theories that can help achieve this. Members
of IALE therefore have a critical role to play in conservation
world-wide.
