On 8 March, International Women's Day, the IALE Diversity and Inclusion Committee hosted the event, "Women in Landscape Ecology: A Global Conversation". The event featured a discussion with three prominent women in the field: Prof. Harini Nagendra (Azim Premji University, Bangalore, India), Prof. Joy Obando (Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya), and Prof. Sarah Gergel (University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada). The conversation featured many personal stories from the three panelists and covered a range of topics, including the challenges of being a woman in landscape ecology and advice for early career researchers.
