Professor Antonio Lara of the Universidad Austral de Chile and President of FORECOS is working with the Centre for Climate and Resilience Research on a project to assess the water balance and role of araucaria forests in ecosystem services. As a result of this research, meteorological stations and monitoring instruments have been installed in the Nasampulli reserve.
