Dear GLP community, Another year is finishing and with it we see the rise of great expectations for a new year that will be beginning soon. Looking back, 2012 was a year of big changes for the Global Land Project. New chair, new IPO staff and relocation to Brazil, new scientific steering committee members, 2 news nodal offices, the preparation for the 2014 Open Science Meeting, new strategies of communication and more. And the most important thing: the GLP community strengthened. That is the best sign that the science GLP makes is extremely relevant for the future of human society and life as we know it in our planet. The IPO wishes that each of you may have a holiday season time full of joy, love and peace. Wishing that all these great feelings could be present during all year long, inclusive in the science we make. A happy and fruitful 2013 for us all!!!
