Andean peatlands, or bofedales, such as the one in the community of Caripe in Sajama National Park—shown here with Sajama peak—provide vital pasture for llamas and alpacas. An article in this issue of Mountain Research and Development shows that community-based land tenure arrangements can support adaptive livelihoods among pastoralists by incentivizing labor migrants to return occasionally to their home communities to maintain land and animals according to customary practices.

Articles in this open issue examine how pastoralist livelihoods in the Andes adapt to accommodate temporary labor migration; define and analyze interface areas between mountains and lowlands as a new category for spatial planning in the European Alps; assess sustainability awareness in trail running in Romania, proposing ways toward greater sustainability; explore climate challenges to off-piste skiing and possible adaptation pathways in France; and present the 30-year history of the Alpine-wide ForumAlpinum conference series, highlighting its contributions to research cooperation and sustainable development in the European Alps and beyond.
