Description:
A free quarterly newsletter, Mountain Protected Areas UPDATE, currently 14 pages, is produced by Dr. Larry Hamilton. The IUCN-WCPA Mountains Theme has achieved notable success. The network currently numbers around 490 individuals, located in 67 countries.
In addition, UPDATE is photocopied in Australia and sent out to all professionals of the Australian Alps National Parks. It is translated into Russian by the Environmental Centre Zapovedniks and sent out to 55 Zapovedniks and national parks. Several MtPA twinnings or partnerships and joint research projects have arisen because of network interaction.
