Rural outmigration in the region is coupled with a marked reduction in livestock herd sizes, as an article in this issue shows. (Photo by Ana L. Dip Yordanoff)

In this open issue, MountainResearch articles focus on links between rural outmigration and land use change in Argentina, a tool to support land use decisions in Ethiopia, and adaptive strategies of small ski areas in Japan. A MountainDevelopment article reviews a participatory digital mapping intervention and resulting local learning in Nepal. In the MountainPlatform section, UNIMONT showcases its work on plant agrobiodiversity conservation, and GLOMOS presents its systemic, participatory research approach to fostering resilience and reducing risks. The issue also contains 3 book reviews and a MountainViews article that calls for efforts to monitor overlooked micro-endemic species.
