A new issue is complete! Read about links between rural outmigration and land use change in Argentina, participatory digital mapping and local learning in Nepal, a tool to support land use decisions in Ethiopia, adaptive strategies of small ski areas in Japan, and more. bioone.org/toc/mred/46/2
Cover of Mountain Research and Development Volume 46 Number 2, with a photo by Ana L. Dip Yordanoff showing around twenty white and beige goats facing the camera in the golden evening sun. They are inside a corral built against a stone wall from logs, wooden beams, and coarse wire netting. Trees and a plastic tarp placed across some of the beams provide some shade. A single goat is grazing outside the corral, closer to the camera, in a yard that is no longer sunlit. Above the trees, a dry-looking, rocky mountain range stretches beneath a blue sky with white clouds. Photo caption: Goats in a corral in the High Monte of Northwest Argentina. The animals graze during the day and are returned to the corral at sunset to prevent predation. Rural outmigration in the region is coupled with a marked reduction in livestock herd sizes, as an article in this issue shows.
