Covering 27% of Earth's land surface, mountains provide freshwater, habitat for diverse species, and are home to millions of people. This day raises awareness about sustainable mountain development, preserving biodiversity, and addressing challenges like climate change, deforestation, and unsustainable tourism. Celebrating mountain cultures and traditions fosters global solidarity in protecting these natural treasures. Let’s honor the majestic peaks and ensure their health for future generations, recognizing their importance in sustaining life and cultural heritage worldwide.
