the Convention on Biological Diversity who hosted our first 
dialogue on Indigenous and local knowledge in Montreal, 
Canada. We would especially like to acknowledge the support 
of our home institutions and governments: the UK Centre for 
Ecology & Hydrology (United Kingdom); the Faculty of Forestry 
Sciences, University of Concepcion and Institute of Ecology 
and Biodiversity (Chile); and Ontario Tech University (Canada). 
We have appreciated the encouragement given to us from 
them and the value they have placed on the work we have 
been collaboratively leading.
