	"Mountain Tourism, and the Conservation of Biological and Cultural Diversity" -Mtn-Forum On-Line Library Document
		Tourism's impacts on mountain ecosystems and biological resources are of great concern, however, both at the local and global scales, because of the high degree of biodiversity and environmental sensitivity of mountain areas.
		Cultural identities and diversity in mountain regions are also under threat by the economic, social and environmental forces associated with mountain tourism.
		Cultures and traditional ways of mountain life are changing every day due to the modernizing effects of education, communications, entertainment, travel, employment, tourism, etc. It is difficult to isolate the effects of tourism on mountain cultures, and even more difficult to "prescribe remedies" to the deterioration of customs and beliefs.

		Cultural gifts are things passed on to the living by the dead and by their most creative contemporaries: useful and other objects, practical and high arts, and formulas for conduct, music, dance, poetry, and narrative.
