Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Mountains are much more than just elevations in the landscape. For millions of people, they represent home, identity, culture, and livelihood. But their value extends far beyond the human realm: they are sources of life, natural systems that regulate the climate, store and distribute water, promote biodiversity, and support numerous species. In a global context marked by the climate crisis and environmental degradation, recognizing the importance of mountains and conserving them is an urgent priority.Millions of people live in the mountains and have learned to coexist with the challenges and opportunities that high altitudes present. Rural and Indigenous communities have developed sustainable agricultural practices, terrace systems, water protection rituals, and traditions that reflect a deep connection to their mountainous territory.These mountain cultures are guardians of ancestral knowledge regarding water management, soil, climate, and biodiversity. Their knowledge represents an invaluable opportunity to address the climate crisis through nature-based solutions.This is the book you need to gain a comprehensive and holistic understanding of mountain ecosystems.
