Welcome to mountain people

Mountain People is a general term for people who live in hills and mountains. The climate is generally harsh, with steep temperature drops between day and night. People have used or lived in the mountains for thousands of years, first as hunter-gatherers and later as farmers and pastoralists. Today about 15-20% of the world's population, live in mountain regions, many of them economically and politically marginalized. The mountain residents have adapted to the conditions, but in the developing world they often suffer from food insecurity and poor health. They depend on crops, livestock and forest products.

In the developed world the mountain people are generally prosperous, and the mountains may be used for tourism and outdoor recreation.

Although 70% of mountain people live in rural areas, the rest live in cities. The cities attract temporary or permanent migrants from the rural areas.
