Mountain Research and Development Vol 41, No 2 available online and open access

In this open issue, a case study from China shows how bird photography tourism benefitted both biodiversity and livelihoods. Research from the Indian Himalaya examines links between urbanization, hazards, and vulnerability. A global analysis offers insights into challenges for sustainable governance of mountains, and a study on Canada’s mountain systems provides a nationally coherent basis for research, policy, and work on social issues. Finally, another global assessment proposes principles and ways of developing a network of mountain observatories.

The issue is available online and open access:
