| Abstract: |
| The present article provides an overview
of the status of land use and land cover
change science in Montane Mainland
Southeast Asia in the context of a
Mobile Workshop. Outcomes of the
Mobile Workshop highlighted the rapid
changes in land use and livelihoods,
largely driven by the development of
transport links, increasing market
access, and trade liberalization. While
many of these changes are likely to be
beneficial, they must be carefully monitored,
and relevant policies should be
inclusive of all stakeholders. This is why
it is important that land use science be
cognizant of the need to make information
accessible to policy-makers and land
users. |
