Updates from the Mountain Research and Development journal

MRD Talk #02 | Engaging with Indigenous and local knowledge for the conservation of mountain landscapes | 6 December 2022, 17:00 CET/UTC+1, on Zoom
Working with Indigenous and local knowledge holders is crucial to conserving mountain landscapes. It provides the approaches needed to reconcile nature conservation with human wellbeing, and it is fundamental to creating more just conservation initiatives that respect the rights of Indigenous communities. In this online dialogue, Mountain Research and Development authors will discuss their findings on these issues with Indigenous representatives, practitioners, and the audience to explore innovative conservation practices centered on Indigenous and local knowledge.

Call for papers: Restoring mountain systems for social-ecological resilience
Mountain Research and Development<https://www.mrd-journal.org/> is looking for papers that systematically assess restoration experiences, including enabling and hindering factors for greater resilience of mountain ecosystems and people. Empirical research and meta-analyses of degradation and restoration processes and their links to resilience are also welcome, as are review-based agendas for research, policies, or interventions. Papers are due by 2 December 2022. Read detailed call for papers<https://www.mrd-journal.org/issue/restoring-mountain-systems-for-social-ecological-resilience/>.

Insights for better visitor management in protected areas are offered in an article from Nepal, using geolocated social media images, and in one from the French Alps, based on an analysis of visitors' attitudes.
