摘 要:The International Symposium ‘Towards Sustainable Livelihoods and Ecosystems in Mountainous Regions', held in Chiang Mai from 7-9 March 2006 (hereafter referred to as ‘Mountain Symposium'), brought together a wealth of experience from mountain research and development in four continents. Some of its highlights are presented in this Special Issue. If one were to choose a 'leitmotif that would best capture the present state of knowledge in mountain research, it would be recognizing heterogeneity, complexity, interdependency, and learning how to deal with it. We are in the middle of a learning process and it is important to remember Rod Lefroy's statement in the panel discussion of the Mountain Symposium: "perfection is the enemy of progress" (Lefroy 2006).
