11 December- International Mountain Day
International Mountain Day is celebrated on December 11 Every year. One seventh of the world’s population live in mountain areas, and the remaining population is largely dependent on the natural resources originated in mountains. Thus, the awareness about preserving the mountain ecosystem has become the need of the hour. To promote the cause, the United Nations celebrate International Mountain Day with a specific theme every year. This year the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations has decided ‘Sustainable Mountain Tourism’ as a theme. Giripremi has planned several programs to create awareness about the day
