About Us
Main Partners
The Omora Ethnobotanical Park (www.omora.org), located in the UNESCO Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve (55º South latitude), was inaugurated in 2000 as an initiative to “integrate biocultural conservation and social wellbeing from the southern ends of the earth” (See figure below). Since that time, a consortium of academic institutions, including the University of North Texas (UNT), the Institute of Ecology and Biodiversity (IEB), the University of Magallanes (UMAG) and non-profit organizations, including the Omora Foundation, the Center for Environmental Philosophy (CEP) and the Omora Sub-Antarctic Research Alliance (OSARA), have worked to integrate ecological and social aspects of research, education and conservation into a long-term socio-ecological initiative that will make the Omora Park a formal long-term ecological research site (LTSER).
