International Mountain Day
International Mountain Day, celebrated annually on December 11 since its establishment by the UN in 2003, aims to raise awareness about the critical role of mountains in biodiversity, water supply, and livelihoods. The 2024 theme highlighted the need for both global and local actions to conserve mountain ecosystems, which face threats from deforestation, climate change, and over-tourism. Mountains are culturally significant and vital for communities dependent on them for agriculture and tourism. This observance emphasizes sustainable practices and local engagement to ensure that mountain resources are protected for future generations.
