International Mountain Day Baha hike 2025
International Mountain Day is celebrated every year in December to spotlight just how essential mountains are to life on our planet. Coordinated by the FAO, the day encourages people to appreciate these landscapes and support the communities that depend on them.
Mountains give us fresh water, rich biodiversity, and countless natural resources, yet they remain extremely vulnerable to climate change. As rising temperatures threaten water supplies and habitats, protecting these environments becomes more important than ever for the well-being of the world.
