Introduction
An innovative, interdisciplinary program at the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve (CHBR) is carried out by three Chilean (IEB, UMAG, Omora) and three U.S. (UNT, CEP, OSARA) partners in association with a variety of institutions and actors that range from the local to the international. The initiative strives to "link biocultural conservation with social well-being from the southernmost end of the Americas." The people working at the Omora Ethnobotanical Park (a Research, Education and Conservation Center for the CHBR) propose that academia and society must work together in a long-term and interdisciplinary manner to address pressing modern day eco-social problems, such as global climate change, invasive exotic species, among others.
