We owe a lot of recognition to Larry Hamilton, who has written the newsletter of the Mountain Protected Areas Network for decades. After all his efforts to bring the community of mountain protected areas together on a global scale, the work will now be continued by Gill Anderson.

Many thanks to you, Larry, from the ALPARC network. You brought an enormous added value to our work by communicating it around the world and you brought us a deep insight into other networks and activities around the globe for the protection of nature. Friendships could be created thanks to this permanent communication and your dedication to nature, ours as well.

ALPARC wish all the best to Gill Anderson, the new editor.
