The Mountain Institute, based in North Little Rock, AR, is a leading organization dedicated to bridging development and tradition through conservation and sustainable livelihoods in the Andes Mountains. With a focus on inclusive approaches that combine sustainable development, modern science, and traditional knowledge, they work closely with Andean communities to help them become more resilient in the face of climate change while protecting ancient cultures and fragile ecosystems.
Through their Mountain Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) Program, the Mountain Institute is expanding their work in flagship sites in the Andes, Himalayas, and Mount Elgon to support the adoption of EbA approaches in neighboring countries such as Bhutan, Kenya, and Colombia. Their global initiatives aim to bring attention to the challenges faced by mountain environments and communities, advocating for their recognition in the global sustainable development policy agenda.
