Discussion of the philosophy, goals, work, and future plans of The Mountain Institute (TMI), founded in 1973 and still the only international organization dedicated exclusively to environmental conservation and economic development in mountain
communities worldwide. TMI works with local mountain organizations on 3 continents and a global network of people and organizations called the Mountain Forum. - (SLD)
