This panel discussion is part of the Peer Learning Exchange for Large Landscape Conservation, organized by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and the International Land Conservation Network during 2018-2019, and hosted by James N. Levitt, manager of Land Conservation Programs at the Lincoln Institute and Director of Conservation Innovation at the Harvard Forest, Harvard University.
 
The panel responds to growing interest and urgency in the conservation of large landscapes in Chile and the United States, and brings together practitioners from both countries to leverage collective learning and expertise in advancing initiatives in landscapes ranging from the Golden Gate Biosphere Reserve around San Francisco, California, to the Ruta de Los Parques in Chilean Patagonia. Panelists will share the history, challenges, and opportunities in their respective landscapes and address the role of peer learning in achieving their objectives.
