Spring water plays a crucial role in sustaining life in the Himalayas. Yet these vital water sources are drying as a result of natural and anthropogenic factors. In July and August 2020, we conducted phone interviews with leaders from 300 local government units across Nepal to identify the status of spring drying, the main causes, the consequences for local communities, measures adopted, conservation practices, and policies. Springs had dried up in 74% of local government units, with medium to severe problems across 44%. The scarcity of drinking water because of drying springs is the most severe issue, leading to outmigration in the search for water, as reported by 7% of the local governments. Road and infrastructure construction is the main cause of springs drying up, followed by earthquakes and climate change. Problems of spring drying are more prevalent in the Chure region, followed by the mid-hills and mountains. Local governments have used various strategies to mitigate the problem, such as rainwater harvesting, reforestation, lifting, and boring. Spring conservation work has been included in local governments' annual plans, programs, and budgets, but most of them focus on drinking water. Therefore, the problem must be addressed as quickly as possible with the participation of all stakeholders and following a bottom-up approach.
在喜马拉雅山脉,泉水对维持生命起着至关重要的作用。然而,由于自然和人为因素,这些重要的水源正在干涸。2020 年 7 月和 8 月,我们对尼泊尔 300 个地方政府单位的领导人进行了电话访谈,以了解泉水干涸的现状、主要原因、对当地社区造成的后果、采取的措施、保护措施和政策。74% 的地方政府单位的泉水已经干涸,44% 的地方政府单位存在中度到严重问题。7% 的地方政府报告称,由于泉水干涸导致饮用水匮乏是最严重的问题,这导致人们为寻找水源而向外迁移。道路和基础设施建设是导致泉水干涸的主要原因,其次是地震和气候变化。泉水干涸问题在丘雷地区较为普遍,其次是半山区和山区。地方政府采取了各种策略来缓解这一问题,如收集雨水、植树造林、抬升和钻孔等。泉水保护工作已被纳入地方政府的年度计划、项目和预算,但大多数计划、项目和预算的重点都是饮用水。因此,必须在所有利益相关者的参与下,采用自下而上的方法尽快解决这一问题。

The austrotemperate alpine system of southern Africa's Maloti–Drakensberg is the only alpine system south of Mount Kilimanjaro, making it unique on the continent. With a difference in elevation of only 300–600 m and characterized by an undulating Gondwanan mature erosional land surface plateau around 2865–3500 masl, it is threatened by unsustainable land uses and climate change. To better understand these challenges, the Afromontane Research Unit of the University of the Free State, South Africa, is setting up the 1200 km2 Mont-Aux-Sources Long-Term Socio-Ecological Research (LTSER) platform. It is the first alpine-focused, long-term monitoring protocol implemented in the Maloti–Drakensberg. Straddling the border between South Africa and Lesotho, it is also the only alpine and transboundary LTSER area in Africa.
南部非洲马洛蒂-德拉肯斯堡的南温带高山系统是乞力马扎罗山以南唯一的高山系统,使其在非洲大陆上独一无二。高差仅为300-600 m,海拔2865-3500 m左右为起伏的冈瓦南成熟侵蚀陆面高原,受到不可持续土地利用和气候变化的威胁。为了更好地了解这些挑战,南非自由州大学的非洲山地研究小组正在建立一个1200平方公里的“月源”长期社会生态研究平台。这是在Maloti-Drakensberg实施的第一个以高山为重点的长期监测协议。它横跨南非和莱索托之间的边界,也是非洲唯一的高山和跨界LTSER地区。

Home to 88 million people, the Ethiopian mountains are a highly heterogeneous landscape. The Afroalpine ecosystem is found above 3000 masl and is characterized by high levels of species diversity, rarity, and endemism. The objective of this article is to investigate impacts of plantation forests on both the human and plant communities of the Afroalpine zone. We use a case study of a community-based conservation area in the north central highlands, Guassa Community Conservation Area (Guassa), where plantation forests have been established since the 1970s. The study area covers about 78 km2 ranging between 2600 and 3700 masl and largely belongs to the Afroalpine zone. We interviewed 100 residents of the 4 administrative regions closest to Guassa and conducted vegetation sampling of 70 quadrats along 2 transect lines. We found a roughly equal number of ecosystem services between native grassland and plantation forest. However, respondents reported 7 unique ecosystem services from the native grassland and only 3 unique ecosystem services from the plantation forest. Both native grassland and plantation areas were valued for their perceived ability to attract rain and provide habitat for wild animals. We recorded a total of 87 species belonging to 63 genera and 31 plant families across both vegetation types surveyed and a total of 19 endemic species. Of the plant families, Asteraceae had the highest species number. Although plantation forests support less diverse plant communities and provide fewer unique ecosystem services to human communities compared to native Afroalpine vegetation, they are still a valuable piece of the landscape mosaic.
埃塞俄比亚山区是8800万人口的家园,是一个高度多样化的景观。非洲高山生态系统分布在3000平方米以上,具有高度的物种多样性、稀有性和特有性。本文的目的是研究人工林对非洲高寒地区人类和植物群落的影响。我们以中北部高地的社区保护区瓜萨社区保护区(Guassa Community conservation area, Guassa)为例进行了研究,该保护区自20世纪70年代以来就建立了人工林。研究区面积约78 km2,范围在2600 ~ 3700亩之间,主要属于非洲高山带。我们采访了离瓜萨最近的4个行政区的100名居民,并沿2条样线进行了70个样方的植被采样。我们发现原生草地和人工林之间的生态系统服务数量大致相等。然而,应答者报告了原生草地的7种独特生态系统服务,人工林的3种独特生态系统服务。原生草地和人工林都因其吸引雨水和为野生动物提供栖息地的能力而受到重视。在调查的两种植被类型中,共记录到31科63属87种,共有19种特有种。在植物科中,菊科的物种数量最多。尽管与非洲高山原生植被相比,人工林支持的植物群落多样性较低,为人类社区提供的独特生态系统服务较少,但它们仍然是景观马赛克中有价值的一块。

As the world's mountains are significant hotspots of biodiversity and home to hundreds of millions of people, they are ideal locations in which to investigate and develop the conservation social sciences in a systematic way to help inform conservation decision-making and policy. Here, we discuss the development of a social science research agenda for the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative, a transboundary environmental organization working in Canada and the United States. We suggest that this process is useful for others to undertake in similar conservation landscapes and mountain systems as we strive to better understand how people live in, play in, benefit from, and visit the globe's mountain regions. We outline an agenda for collaborative social science research in the Yellowstone to Yukon region related to 4 themes and offer 12 priority questions as launching points for interested researchers to explore in more detail. Through a review of relevant literature on the 4 themes, we identify research gaps that, if addressed, could usefully inform decision-making across the Yellowstone to Yukon region. Finally, we call on the research community to focus its curiosity and resources on answering these questions and encourage funders and institutions to support them in doing so.
由于世界上的山区是生物多样性的重要热点和数亿人的家园,它们是研究和发展保护社会科学的理想场所,以系统的方式帮助为保护决策和政策提供信息。在这里,我们讨论了黄石到育空保护倡议的社会科学研究议程的发展,这是一个在加拿大和美国工作的跨境环境组织。我们建议,在我们努力更好地了解人们如何在全球山区生活、玩耍、受益和访问的过程中,这一过程对其他人在类似的保护景观和山区系统中进行有益的借鉴。我们概述了黄石到育空地区合作社会科学研究的议程,涉及4个主题,并提供了12个优先问题作为感兴趣的研究人员更详细探索的起点。通过对这四个主题的相关文献的回顾,我们确定了研究空白,如果解决这些空白,可以有效地为黄石到育空地区的决策提供信息。最后,我们呼吁研究界将其好奇心和资源集中在回答这些问题上,并鼓励资助者和机构支持他们这样做。

Livestock protection measures are necessary to protect livestock from wolf attacks but are highly controversial in the agricultural community. This qualitative study referred to the theory of planned behavior to explore the social elements that influence farmers' intention to use or reject livestock protection measures. Data were collected from 45 sheep farmers on 4 alpine pastures in the Alpine province of Bolzano, Italy, using semistructured interviews. Results show, first, a predominantly negative attitude toward livestock protection measures because of perceived technical constraints, excessive workload, and emotional stress. Second, family, friends, and other sheep farmers were the most important referent groups and could trigger social stress to support or hinder the use of protection measures. Third, perceived behavioral control was constrained by a lack of professional advice in the province regarding protection measures and a lack of funding for additional costs involved. Intentions to use these measures in the future were equally positive and negative, with the sheer inevitability of needing protection measures to allow continued grazing cited as the primary motivator. These findings underline the importance of considering social factors in management plans and conflict mitigation actions and serve as a basis for further, more detailed studies.
牲畜保护措施是保护牲畜免受狼袭击的必要措施,但在农业界却极具争议。这项定性研究参考了计划行为理论,探讨了影响农民使用或拒绝牲畜保护措施意愿的社会因素。数据是通过半结构访谈从意大利博尔扎诺阿尔卑斯省4个高山牧场的45名养羊户那里收集的。结果表明,首先,由于技术限制、工作量过大和情绪压力,人们对牲畜保护措施持消极态度。其次,家人、朋友和其他养羊人是最重要的参照群体,可能会引发社会压力,支持或阻碍保护措施的使用。第三,由于该省缺乏有关保护措施的专业建议,以及缺乏额外费用的资金,感知到的行为控制受到了限制。未来使用这些措施的意图既有积极的一面,也有消极的一面,需要保护措施以允许继续放牧的必然性被认为是主要动机。这些发现强调了在管理计划和缓解冲突行动中考虑社会因素的重要性,并为进一步、更详细的研究奠定了基础。

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic changed recreation patterns worldwide. Increases in protected areas' visitor numbers were reported along with associated challenges. Changes in visitor numbers, composition, and motivation remain mostly unrecorded due to a lack of baseline records for comparison. We aimed to fill this gap with a study in the Swiss National Park (SNP), an International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) strict nature reserve in the European Alps, where visitor numbers strongly increased in 2020 and 2021 compared to previous years. In summer 2020, we repeated a visitor survey previously conducted in 2006 and 2012, complemented by assessments of COVID-19-related motivations. To deepen our understanding of the COVID-19 context, we conducted semistructured interviews with SNP visitors. In general, COVID-19-related factors were a strong driver of increased visitor numbers. A fifth of survey respondents indicated that they would not have visited the SNP but for the pandemic, with most of them being first-time or infrequent visitors. Furthermore, our data showed that more young, domestic, and less experienced visitors came to the park. We discuss impacts and implications for practitioners and researchers (ie the need to better sensitize newcomers to environmental issues) and argue that our study holds insights for park managers worldwide.
2019冠状病毒病(新冠肺炎)大流行改变了全球娱乐模式。据报道,保护区游客数量的增加以及相关的挑战。由于缺乏可供比较的基线记录,访客数量、构成和动机的变化大多未被记录。我们旨在通过在瑞士国家公园(SNP)进行的一项研究来填补这一空白。瑞士国家公园是国际自然保护联盟(IUCN)在欧洲阿尔卑斯山的严格自然保护区,与往年相比,2020年和2021年的游客数量大幅增加。2020年夏天,我们重复了之前在2006年和2012年进行的游客调查,并对新冠肺炎相关动机进行了评估。为了加深我们对新冠肺炎背景的理解,我们对苏格兰民族党的来访者进行了半结构化采访。总的来说,新冠肺炎相关因素是游客数量增加的有力驱动因素。五分之一的受访者表示,如果不是因为疫情,他们不会访问苏格兰民族党,其中大多数是首次或不经常访问的人。此外,我们的数据显示,更多的年轻、国内和经验不足的游客来到公园。我们讨论了对从业者和研究人员的影响和影响(即需要更好地提高新来者对环境问题的敏感性),并认为我们的研究为世界各地的公园管理者提供了见解。

Increases in protected areas' visitor numbers were reported along with associated challenges. Changes in visitor numbers, composition, and motivation remain mostly unrecorded due to a lack of baseline records for comparison. We aimed to fill this gap with a study in the Swiss National Park (SNP), an International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) strict nature reserve in the European Alps, where visitor numbers strongly increased in 2020 and 2021 compared to previous years. In summer 2020, we repeated a visitor survey previously conducted in 2006 and 2012, complemented by assessments of COVID-19-related motivations. To deepen our understanding of the COVID-19 context, we conducted semistructured interviews with SNP visitors. In general, COVID-19-related factors were a strong driver of increased visitor numbers. A fifth of survey respondents indicated that they would not have visited the SNP but for the pandemic, with most of them being first-time or infrequent visitors. Furthermore, our data showed that more young, domestic, and less experienced visitors came to the park. We discuss impacts and implications for practitioners and researchers (ie the need to better sensitize newcomers to environmental issues) and argue that our study holds insights for park managers worldwide.","PeriodicalId":49793,"journal":{"name":"Mountain Research and Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47024555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
