Abstract
Limited scientific and institutional capacities, as well as limited funding for necessary research, hamper our understanding of the nature of biological diversity and its relationship to human welfare. Latin America, a region renowned for its extraordinary biological wealth, is no exception. Regional cooperation[1]offers one approach to overcoming those limitations. Networking has proven to be a successful and cost-effective mechanism for breaking down the barriers between researchers or between isolated institutions with common interests. Examples include networks of biological field stations and marine stations[2], and a network for the exchange of young botanists among Latin American countries[3].
