What is landscape ecology?
Landscape ecology is the study of interactions, across space and time, between the structure and function of physical, biological and cultural components of landscapes; marine, freshwater, and on land.
Our core aims
- To promote interest, learning and understanding of landscape ecology
- To promote inter-disciplinary research across the many fields in landscape ecology
- To encourage communication between scientists, policy makers, planners and practitioners concerned with landscape ecology.
We wish to see that:
- Research in the UK furthers knowledge of landscape ecology
- Legislation, policies, regulations, incentives and best practice are informed by landscape ecology
- Those with an interest in protecting, planning, or managing land, water or associated ecosystem goods and services share a good understanding of landscape ecology.
How we achieve our aims?
- ialeUK is a not-for-profit membership organisation, which actively recruits members from science, policy and practice who have an interest in landscape ecology
- We organise conferences, seminars and workshops with partner organisations to stimulate exchange of information and debate between scientists, policy makers, planners and practitioners concerned with landscape ecology
- The organisation promotes the principles of landscape ecology and their application
- We act as a source of information on landscape ecology in the UK
- ialeUK fosters the next generation of landscape ecologists
- We contribute to and gain from working with the International Association for Landscape Ecology.
Ikolojia ya mandhari ni nini? Ekolojia ya mazingira ni utafiti wa mwingiliano, katika nafasi na wakati, kati ya muundo na kazi ya vipengele vya kimwili, kibiolojia na kitamaduni vya mazingira; baharini, maji safi, na ardhini. Lengo kuu la mradi huu ni kukuza maslahi, kujifunza na uelewa wa ikolojia ya mazingira, kukuza utafiti wa interdisciplinary katika nyanja nyingi katika ikolojia ya mazingira, na kuhamasisha mawasiliano kati ya wanasayansi, watunga sera, wapangaji na watendaji wanaohusika na ikolojia ya mazingira. """Tunataka kuona kwamba utafiti nchini Uingereza unaendeleza maarifa ya ikolojia ya mazingira, sheria, sera, kanuni, motisha na mazoea bora yanajulikana na ikolojia ya mazingira, wale ambao wana nia ya kulinda, kupanga, au kusimamia ardhi, maji au bidhaa na huduma zinazohusiana na mazingira wanashiriki uelewa mzuri wa ikolojia ya mazingira." Tunatimizaje malengo yetu? IALE UK ni shirika lisilo la faida ambalo linawaajiri wanachama kutoka kwa sayansi, sera na mazoezi ambao wana nia ya ikolojia ya mazingira, tunapanga mikutano, semina na warsha na mashirika ya washirika ili kuchochea kubadilishana habari na mjadala kati ya wanasayansi, watunga sera, wapangaji na watendaji wanaohusika na ikolojia ya mazingira, na tunasaidia na kupata faida kutoka kwa kushirikiana na Chama cha Kimataifa cha Ikolojia ya Mazingira.
