Land use history in montane Mainland Southeast Asia: highlights and outcomes of a mobile workshop held 15-27 January 2005, in China, Laos and Thailand

This publication summarises the outcomes of the mobile workshop and provides insight into land use dynamics in the Greater Mekong sub-region. Equally important, it outlines the mobile workshop approach, which proved to be highly successful for interactive learning and sharing knowledge on complex mountain issues, in this case those related to land use and land cover change. We are proud that ICIMOD could be a part of this learning process, and owe particular thanks to the Rockefeller Foundation for generous financial support for this workshop. This publication will be of benefit to all those interested in innovative approaches to learning and information exchange on complex regional issues, especially those related to mountains and land use and land cover, as well as to planners and policy makers coping with LUCC issues, and those interested in the MMSEA region itself. We are very glad to be able to further disseminate information about these methods and issues through the medium of this publication.
