“…Four original articles follow Steve’s contribution: serendipitously, three are about mining and its challenges in South Africa (Sesele & Marais, 2023), Ghana (Afriyie et al, 2023), and the Philippines (Ocampo & Schmitz, 2023). The last is a comparative analysis of Buddhist and Taoist sacred mountains in China and, like the others, but for very different reasons, I found it fascinating (Qiu et al, 2023).…”

In December 2022, the team at Geographical Research-including members of the Institute of Australian Geographers and staff from Wiley-came together in celebration of 60 years in the life of the journal. Held online, the short event enabled us to launch an editorial pick of 10 years' of work on geography published between Volumes 51 and 60, and those are now available online here. It was a lovely occasion and provided an opportunity to show what is a newly refreshed look for the journal.And then many of us went through that mad period of days or weeks before what is often a collective break at the year's end so that we could 'down tools' for a period of time. A necessity? Absolutely, but also something not to be taken for granted given how many people throughout the world work with little rest and limited labour protection.I always take more time than I'd like to wind down, and it interests me that many of the strategies I use to do so are spatial in character-at least they seem so to me, but then I feel as though I am permanently enmeshed in a geographically inflected ontology.So, for example, I make certain that every last 'species' of work that might have crept out of the home office into the rest of the house is rounded up and gently enclosed back in that office, and the door is then shut for the duration. I turn off all notifications and 'park' them in cyber space after setting up out-of-office messages that I hope give comfort to those who are still submitting work to the journal in the team's short absence.And then … And then I garden with an enthusiasm and focus that is soothing-therapeutic even-and that provides immediate gratification and connection to the elements and the more-than-human. I read light-hearted works with a mix of voraciousness and languor and then, when the temptation to nap becomes too compelling, I 'map' the inside of my eyelids. I reintroduce myself to forms of food preparation and cooking that engender ease and slow pace. And I mooch with friends over coffee or I simply sit in the garden and work to embody the verb be rather than do.Rest is not, I think, a way of being that many of us are especially adept at, and I would certainly place myself in those ranks. I struggle to stop and am always and inevitably deeply grateful that I have. Rest enables

This study deeply analyzes the ecocultural heritage of the Tiantai Mountain area in Eastern China, assesses its current status and explores effective mechanisms for its conservation and construction. Employing remote sensing technology, kernel density analysis and Minimum Cumulative Resistance Model, the study comprehensively evaluated the environmental characteristics of the region and its role in historical and modern conservation efforts. The results demonstrate the unique distribution patterns of ecocultural heritage in various conservation zones, such as restoration, controlled construction and core conservation zone. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of religious beliefs and clan systems in the preservation of traditional knowledge and practices, with significant impacts of local community participation on conservation strategies. This research provides new theoretical and practical support for the implemention of ecocultural heritage conservation and development within religiously significant areas, highlights the need for conservation measures and synergistic strategies between ecological and cultural practices.

The development of modern ecotourism cannot do without the support of the cultural industry. Placing China’s ecotourism industry within the traditional Taoist ideology and culture of China can effectively establish a systematic cultural and tourism theory, enrich the methods of ecotourism construction and promote the development of the tourism industry. Therefore, this study is based on Taoist ecological ideology and analyzes the impact of traditional ideological connotations on the development of ecotourism from the perspectives of natural harmony and spiritual balance in Taoist ideology. At the same time, the study explores the modern value of Taoist philosophy and its advantages in integrating with tourism at three levels: sustainable development, social ecological civilization and human spiritual needs. The purpose of this study is to explore the development path of contemporary sustainable ecotourism culture and provide theoretical guidance for achieving harmonious development and unity between humans and nature.
