Landscape ecology studies landscape patterns, the interactions among
patches within a landscape mosaic, and how these patterns and
interactions change over time. The concept is increasingly being
used to study complex landscape patterns and ecological functions
emerging from the impacts of human activities on natural resources.
Improvements in the collection and processing of landscape-based
data on the African continent together with recent inauguration of
the African Union presents a unique opportunity for collaboration
among researchers and resource managers who are interested in
mitigating degradation of resources that are common to different
countries. However, most environmental research and development
projects have involved bilateral collaborations between researchers
and resource managers in various African countries and their
counterparts in developed countries. Therefore, there is the need to
bring together all those interested in resource and environmental
issues in African countries in a forum that focuses on landscape
perspectives of environmental management in Africa. Membership of
Africa – IALE is open to researchers and resource managers who
reside in various African countries, as well as those in developed
countries who have particular interest in development or research
projects in any African country(s).
