Happy International Mountain Day 🏔❕

#InternationalMountainDay has been celebrated since 2003, with the approval of the United Nations.
⠀
Mountains are a precious natural resource, home to 15% of the global population and half of the planet’s biodiversity. For the people of Kyrgyzstan, mountains hold particularly vital significance. 😍
⠀
Mountains provide water, food, and energy for billions of people, but they are under threat from climate change, land degradation, and overexploitation.
⠀
Melting glaciers and worsening food security pose serious risks to the lives of millions of mountain dwellers❌. Today serves as a reminder to all of us of the importance of preserving and protecting these vital ecosystems. 🤝
