In the next paper, Gretter et al compare research conducted in 3 mountain areas where in-migration has increased: the inflow came from young people in the Italian village, from amenity migrants in Romania, and from asylum seekers in Austria. The paper by Sagynbekova examines the impact of labor migration and remittances on rural livelihoods and the environment in central Kyrgyzstan, where vulnerability to climate change impacts and market shocks is increased by reduced income-generating options. Kefelegn Getahun et al analyze the impact of resettlement programs in Ethiopia on forest cover and show that demographic and socioeconomic change, agricultural changes introduced by migrants, lack of regulations, and other factors have led to continued deforestation in the study area from 1957 to 2007. [...]the last paper, by Walsh et al, presents an anthropological study of fire lookout staff's weather awareness in the large mountain forest tracts in Alberta, Canada; being on the lookout for wildfires has been an effective means of reducing risks and controlling fire hazard in this area.
