Forum

The 1st International Forum on Biodiversity Conservation and Human Well-being, organised by Campus Naturaleza UdeC, will be an interdisciplinary meeting place to reflect, share experiences and promote solutions to the ecological and social crisis we are facing. The event will be held at the University of Concepción Auditorium, combining in-person sessions and live streaming.

This forum stems from the conviction that conserving nature means caring for the fabric that sustains our health, life and common future. It is an invitation to regenerate the link between people and biodiversity, articulating science, local knowledge, public policy, health and education to build more resilient and just societies.

Why participate?

Because human well-being depends on healthy ecosystems.

Because we must move beyond fragmented approaches and embrace the interconnections between biodiversity, health, food, water, and climate.

Because the forum will showcase inspiring, transformative initiatives that reconnect people with nature—through conservation, ecological restoration, education, and mental health.

Because it is an opportunity to experience Campus Naturaleza UdeC, an innovative model where conservation, recreation, culture, restoration, and well-being converge in a living landscape.
