He is a foreign member of the US National Academy of Sciences. 
Juan J. Armesto Zamudio (Ph.D., Botany and Plant Physiology, Rutgers University) is Full Professor at Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and Adjunct Scientist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies and Visiting Professor at the Universidad de Concepción. His research interests focus on forest ecosystems, in particular biogeochemical cycles and the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functions. He is President and Researcher at the Senda Darwin Foundation, Chiloé, and Director of the Institute of Ecology and Biodiversity, Chile. 
María José Martínez-Harms (Ph.D., Biodiversity Conservation Science, University of Queensland, Australia) is an Adjunct Researcher at the Institute of Ecology and Biodiversity and the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Her research focuses on landscape ecology, ecosystem services, evidence-based conservation, and spatial planning for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services. In 2019 she received the L'Oreal Chile-UNESCO Award for Women in Science.
David Tecklin (Ph.D., Geography, University of Arizona) is a Research Associate at the Austral Patagonia Program, Universidad Austral de Chile, and Principal Officer for South American Land and Fresh Water Conservation at The Pew Charitable Trusts. His work as a conservation practitioner has included development of multiple conservation programs and collaborative initiatives for forests, freshwater, and marine ecosystems.
