Species natural monument in Chile, legacy. Ruil (Nothofagus alessandri), Alerce (Fitzroya cupressoides), Pitao (Pitavia punctata), Palma chilena (Jubaea chilensis), Belloto del sur (Beilschmiedia berteroana), Belloto del norte (Beilschmiedia miersii), Araucaria (Araucaria araucana), Queule (Gomortega keule).

Thanks for the MapRoulette project: Tree Validation. I have been using it to correct the Chile data, and it has been a great help. Regarding monumental or singular trees, in Chile we prefer the label monument=tree for this type of trees, at the national level there is not yet a legal body for their protection. On the other hand, there are 07 species of trees that are legally declared as natural monuments, which coincides with the label denotation=natural_monument, this can lead to confusion. A monumental or singular tree is not necessarily a “natural monument”. The preservation approach should be expanded by adding the concept of priority tree individuals (or genes). On another topic, we are mapping all Chilean palms to date, about 2750, and we consider that the label leaf_type=palm.

Thanks for the note Frederik Ramm.

It is impressive that each time trees take center stage in OSM, they already represent 8.7% of all nodes. From Chile a few years ago I dedicated myself to mapping the trees in various cities, today being the challenge of completing the city of Valdivia, Los Ríos Region. Currently, several citizen organizations at the national level are pressing for the enactment of an Urban Trees Law, for its regulation and care, in addition to proposing the OSM platform as the ideal tool to register the Urban Trees with Open Data at the national level.

We will make it.

Greetings from Chile.

me alegra mucho que existe una comunidad opentreetmap JOSM en la Isla. Desde acá algunas cosas he hecho por mi Barrio, en Stgo de las Vegas. Saludos desde Valdivia, Chile. y sigan con el mismo entusiasmo :P
