Study explores
relationships
between animals
By Loryn Thompson
Contributing Writer
In the southern tip of Latin
America, UNT students and
faculty are researching a unique
combination of philosophy and
ecology in the first facility of its
kind, said Christopher Anderson
of the biology faculty.
UNT, in conjunction with
the Universidad de Magallanes
and the Institute of Ecology and
Biodiversity in Chile, opened the
Cape Horn Field Station in Puerto
Williams, Chile, Jan. 12.
"The field station is the only
one in the world dedicated to
field environmental philosophy
and ecology," Anderson said.
"It is meant to be a place where
researchers and students can
interact not only with one another,
but also [with] the local commu-
nity."
The field station is not only
innovative but is also the south-
ernmost research facility in South
America, said Ricardo Rozzi of the
philosophy and religion faculty.
" Sub -Antarctica means imme -
diately before Antarctica," Rozzi
said. "It's kind of like going to
Alaska, and then going more
north."
The $275,000 field Station
is part of a partnership called
the Sub-Antarctic Ecosystems
and Biodiversity Conservation
Program Itwasfundedinpartbya
$15 million grant from the Chilean
National Commission of Scientific
and Technological Investigation,
Anderson said.
"The Institute of Ecology and
Biodiversity obtained thegrant in
2008 because it is considered one
of the leading ecology research
UNT and Chilean students pose for a picture at the new research facility in Cape Horn, Chile.
"The field station is the only
one in the world dedicated
to field environmental
philosophy and ecology"
—Christopher Anderson
Biology faculty
groups in all of Latin America,"
Anderson said.
Anderson said the institute's
relationship to UNT helped it
procure the grant.
"The integration of ecology and
ethics is considered a significant
and meaningful achievement
and innovation of our program,"
Anderson said.
Rozzi described the field of
study as exploringthe ethicalrela-
tionships of living organisms.
"The birds also have a
language," Rozzi said. "They have
two eyes. They're not unlike us.
They're not only objects of study.
They're living little persons."
The research includes inter-
acting with the indigenous
peoples and learning about their
way of life, which the field station
will facilitate, Rozzi said.
Tamara Contador, a biology
graduate student, came to UNT
from Chile to continue her educa-
tion and discovered Rozzi and the
program by chance.
Contador has spent the past
year and a half in Puerto Williams
working on her dissertation.
"We sawit get built," Contador
said. "We saw the whole process.
It was great to see the whole
program get accomplished."
While Contador was at the
reserve, she studied aquatic inver-
tebrates in the area's watershed.
Contador said her education

followed a cycle, which incor-
porated ecoconservation, ecot-
oursim, research and commu-
nication.
"While we're there, we work to
develop metaphors to commu-
nicate findings to the commu-
nity," Contador said. "I worked
at local schools conducting a
workshop to teach kids about
the watershed and the inver-
tebrates."
Rozzi said the field station
is helping UNT lead the way in
Sub-Antarctic research.
"There's a growing interest
in Antarctica and Patagonia,"
Rozzi said. "UNT is covering
the blind spot in between. The
program is a little j ewel that we
have here."

Keynote speaker for the pre-
conference, Gladys Hildreth,
will focus on some of the social
problems society currently
faces, as well as the need to
recruit students and profes-
sionals into the educational
psychology field in order to
address those specific needs.
Hildreth believes when it
comes to program planning
regarding families, the program
must be well-grounded and
based on a solid, scholarly
foundation. Many aspects
are important to family life
education, Hildreth said.
"Family life education
must take on an educational
approach rather than a ther-
apeutic approach. It should
present and respect different
family values," Hildreth said.
"It must be researched, studied
and presented by qualified
individuals or educators."
Both the pie-conference
and the two-day conference
will be held in the Golden
Eagle Suite, located in the
Union.
