The Mountain Institute, based in Washington, DC, 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 enhance their resilience in the face of climate change while protecting ancient cultures and fragile ecosystems.
Through their Mountain Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) Program, the Mountain Institute expands their work in flagship sites in the Andes, Himalayas, and Mount Elgon, seeking to support the adoption of the EbA approach in neighboring countries such as Bhutan, Kenya, and Colombia. Additionally, the organization plays an active role in global initiatives to raise awareness and advocate for the protection of mountain environments and the well-being of mountain communities, recognizing their essential role in providing water for billions and regulating the world's climate.
