International Mountain day

The International Mountain day is officially celebrated on december 11. The holiday was adopted by the UN General Assembly in January 2003.

The purpose of the holiday is to draw attention to the importance of developing mountain regions, preserving their natural relief and improving the standard of living and living conditions of mountain residents.

About a quarter of the land surface is covered by mountains. A tenth of the world's population lives in the mountains among unique animals and plants that can exist only in mountainous areas.

Mountain-loving communities are trying to preserve nature, including through this holiday.

The preservation of mountain landscapes is in our hands!
