November 2010
Our Third Project Workshop took place at the CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica) on 13-18 November 2010.
We discussed inter-site analyses of species and trait data, results on the decomposition experiments and in the integration of ecological and social data.

January 2010
A synthesis of results from the on-line consultation on biodiversity, ecosystem services and human well-being in Latin America and the Caribbean carried-out by DiverSus can be downloaded in English and Spanish. Find more information in the ICSU Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean (ICSU-ROLAC) web site, and in the 2009 ICSU-ROLAC Annual Report.

October 2009
Several members of DiverSus participated in the second Open Science Conference of Diversitas, which took place in Cape Town (South Africa) on 12-15 October. We co-organized a symposium on functional biodiversity and ecosystem services and participated in the TRY workshop.

June 2009
Several members of DiverSus were awarded the Ecological Society of America's 2009 Sustainability Science Award for the network's publicacion in PNAS.

April 2009
Sandra Díaz has been elected a foreign associate of the National Academy of Science of the United States, in the Section on Ecology and Environmental Sciences. Find out more on the NAS's website.

As part of our joint initiative with ICSU and DIVERSITAS, DiverSus successfully organized a multi-stakeholder workshop in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) aimed at identifying priorities for research, implementation and policy on the links between biodiversity and human well-being in Latin America and the Caribbean, following the conceptual framework and conclusions of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment. Participants included members of the academic community, governmental sector and civil society organisations.

February 2009
Sandra Díaz was invited to give a key-note talk as part of the US National Academy of Science's celebreations of Darwin's birthday in February 2009.

December 2008



Our Second Project Workshop took place in the Quebrada del Condorito National Park (Argentina) on 2-4 December 2008. Progress was made in planning inter-site analyses of species and trait data, carrying out the decomposition experiment and framing the integration of ecological and social data.





Several members of DiverSus have contributed to an IAI book on incorporating ecological knowledge into land-use decisions. The book is available in PDF format.

November 2008
We edited a factsheet presenting our project and network. Do not hesitate to circulate it!

September 2008
DiverSus is involved in a joint initiative with ICSU and DIVERSITAS which aims to identify priorities for the implementation of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment's findings for Latin America and the Caribbean. As part of this initiative, you can participate in our on-line survey on biodiversity and human well-being in the region (in English, Spanish and Portuguese).

August 2008
The IAI approved our second annual report. You can access it here (access restricted to network members).

February 2008
Our paper on "Incorporating plant functional diversity effects in ecosystem service assessments" (Díaz et al., 2007, PNAS) was awarded the Cozzarelli Prize by the National Academy of Science of the USA.

September 2007
The IAI has recently approved our first annual report. You can access it here (access restricted to network members).
