Articles in this open issue’s MountainResearch section present a framework for assessing the benefits and costs of spring revival in Nepal, analyze Iranian herder households’ livelihood choices with a view to poverty alleviation, and examine the prospects of sustainable tourism in southeastern Serbia’s mountain protected areas. In the MountainAgenda section, authors from the Andean Social–Ecological Observatory Network detail the network’s origins, structure, objectives, and strategies. In the MountainPlatform section, the Institute for Interdisciplinary Mountain Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences presents its new research concept.
