International Association for Landscape Ecology (IALE)

The International Association for Landscape Ecology (IALE) is a global organization that focuses on the study of landscapes—areas of land that are shaped by both natural processes and human activities. Its members include scientists, researchers, and practitioners who work to understand how landscapes function and change over time. The organization promotes the exchange of knowledge and ideas about landscape ecology, aiming to improve environmental management and conservation. By fostering collaboration, IALE helps address issues related to land use, biodiversity, and sustainable development, ultimately striving for a balance between human needs and ecological health.
