Mountains in a Changing Climate: Threats and Opportunities
Ana Belén Hurtado-M from Instituto Alexander von Humboldt in Colombia, presents her work focusing on the high mountain agenda and monitoring systems in Colombia's mountain ecosystems. She holds a Ph.D. in Environmental and Rural Studies, with research interests in secondary forests. Her project aims to assess variables linked to ecosystem integrity, biodiversity, and services in Colombian high Andean ecosystems, evaluating the effectiveness of conservation and management strategies.

Education Ph.D. on Environmental and Rural Studies Universidad Javeriana, Colombia (central theme: secondary forests in Colombia) M.Sc. Biological sciences BA. Biology Employment and main activities Researcher at the Alexander von Humboldt Institute - COLOMBIA Working at the "high mountain agenda" looking forward to integrating efforts at the national level to have a monitoring system in Colombia's mountain ecosystems.
Presentation of a project you are working on 2/3 Main conceptual framework for analyzing drivers of change and response variables from the local to the national scale, emphasizing the importance of monitoring along altitudinal, land use, and ecosystem restoration gradients Objetive: To propose a multiscale 1. Evaluate the dynamics of variables and indicators linked with the ecological integrity, biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and services of high Andean ecosystems in Colombia. 2. Relate these dynamics with the main drivers of change operating at different spatiotemporal scales, including climate change and demographic, socioeconomic, and land-use change processes. 3.Evaluate the effectiveness of the primary biodiversity conservation, management, restoration strategies, and territorial governance schemes in Colombia to guide the decision-making process on local, regional, and national scales. ecosystem
