This book brings together scientists and practitioners from six
continents to present their experience in undertaking activities
that contribute to our understanding and informed management of
mountain areas. In particular, they address the challenges of
working in interdisciplinary teams and of effectively involving
stakeholders.A comprehensive introduction covers the challenges in
mountain area research and management and the need for integrated
approaches. This is followed by chapters that look at key areas of
mountain research and management over the past 25 years, covering
inter- and trans-disciplinary research, subsistence cultures and
sustainable development, innovations in watershed management and
biodiversity conservation. Subsequent chapters cover key areas of
research and management, presenting interdisciplinary case studies
from Australia, Canada, the US, Sweden, India, Colombia and
Tanzania with a focus on comparison of common challenges and
solutions across regions. The concluding chapter brings these
experiences together. The result is a powerful book that integrates
research from different disciplines in the natural and social
sciences, and in some cases indigenous knowledge, to address the
question of how knowledge is gained about mountain areas and how
can it be integrated and used in effective management.This volume
provides an indispensable tool kit for all researchers and
professionals undertaking research and management in mountain and
other environments, including local and regional authorities,
planners, park and protected area managers, tourism operators, and
communities involved in resource extraction, watershed management,
agriculture and forestry.
