The new journal "eco.mont" - Journal of protected mountain areas research and management - was published for the first time in June 2009. The journal was founded as a joint initiative of the Alpine Network of Protected Areas (ALPARC), the International Scientific Committee on Research in the Alps (ISCAR), the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and the University of Innsbruck. The journal aims to highlight research on and management issues in protected areas in the Alps without excluding other protected mountain areas in Europe or overseas. Its target audiences are scientists from all related disciplines, managers of protected areas and interested individuals including practitioners, visitors, teachers, etc. The journal presents peer-reviewed articles in English by authors who research protected mountain areas and management issues within these areas. It is published twice a year as a collaboration of the Austrian Academy of Sciences Press - responsible for the e-version - and Innsbruck University Press - responsible for the print version.

Abstract

Despite all the efforts of politicians and scientists to protect tropical forests, the degradation of these ecosystems continues unabated. Based on experiences with tropical forests and on detailed studies of an Ethiopian mountain rain forest, we discuss previous failures and omissions. On the one hand, people have tried to establish and manage protected areas on a one-sided basis, often exclusively from the natural sciences. On the other hand, the population directly affected by the establishment of a protected area has not been involved in planning or management and not been compensated for any losses. We call for an integrated approach to research, with biologists and ecologists as well as social scientists and economists working together on a feasible conservation concept. The political framework needs to be taken into account but even more important is getting the local population involved in every step of the planning process and compensating them for the loss of utilization rights and resources.
