Mountains are the most beautiful creation of nature! For some, this is a place for rest and relaxation, and for someone - a home! Mountains occupy a quarter of the planet and have the most important resources for human life. These are water, minerals, energy. The peoples inhabiting the highlands live in poverty and constantly suffer from natural disasters. But they sincerely love their lands and do not want to leave them. International Mountain Day helps to draw public attention to pressing issues. The development of life in mountainous regions is a must.
Massive beauty
More than 10% of the world's population lives at the foot of the mountains. Infrastructure in such areas is completely underdeveloped. People sometimes can not even get emergency medical care. They live in harmony with nature, giving themselves to it without a trace. Huge reserves are located in the mountains and at their foot. Mountain ecosystems need human presence. They need to be protected and maintained, rare species of animals and plants suffer from illegal activities of poachers.
In 2003, the UN General Assembly established a holiday - International Mountain Day. The planet celebrates it on December 11 of each year. Now, on this day, events, concerts, demonstrations are held in all settlements of the world. All these actions are aimed at attracting the authorities and the public to the development and improvement of the lives of people living at the foot of the mountains. But this is not the only goal. It is very important to preserve the mountainous terrain in its original form. Mining and crowds of climbers disturb the natural balance! Maybe International Mountain Day will help spread the truth and tell about all the problems of the mountainous area.
Fresh water
The main source of fresh water is the mountains. The largest rivers in the world originate here. People intervene in the processes taking place in the environment, thereby only making things worse for themselves.
Seminars and events dedicated to this day are held in every city of our country. Be sure to visit them, you will learn a lot of useful and interesting information. After all, each of us is concerned with International Mountain Day. Congratulations on this wonderful holiday will not be superfluous. Sign postcards to friends, arrange a small thematic quiz. Let this celebration become your family tradition!
Kind words
Those who have ever been in the mountains will definitely want to go back there again. Their powerful appearance fascinates and bewitches. Incredibly fresh air, purest water straight from the spring - all this is impossible to forget. It is not necessary to conquer the peaks, but you can just go hiking, feel the merger with nature. Congratulate those who are involved in this day with kind words. Although it is worth noting that the International Mountain Day holiday concerns every inhabitant of the planet.
There is strength and peace in the mountains, And this is your best holiday, The air is fresh, the water is delicious, The trouble is forgotten.
I want to buy a hut at the foot, And happily live here for many years!
But life here is so hard
Dangerous at times, Soul rested, come back home!
Such a poem suggests that life at the foot of the mountains is not at all as simple as it seems. Basically, people here live in poverty, although they work for three. Civilization has not yet come to all mountainous areas. And in some auls and villages there is still no electricity and gas pipelines.
Theme of the day
Every year, International Mountain Day is dedicated to a specific theme. The public conveys to ordinary people and the highest ranks of each country all the existing problems of the inhabitants of mountainous areas. The authorities are taking all necessary measures to resolve these issues wherever possible. After all, it is so important to preserve the heritage and resources of nature. Violation of the environment leads to droughts, collapses, landslides.
It is very important to draw public attention to mountain ranges. Let everyone know when International Mountain Day is celebrated. The photos taken by the volunteers after the tourists' picnics are simply shocking. Heaps of garbage, unextinguished fires, the remains of dead animals. Ecology is disturbed even fromthe slightest human intervention. If you decide to spend a weekend near a mountain river or lake, keep it clean and tidy. You need to admire nature without violating this delicate balance!
The smallest
To instill love and respect for nature from an early age. International Mountain Day in kindergarten is a very instructive and useful event. Educators explain to children how important these natural resources are for us, how to behave in the mountains and not pollute the environment. Kids are happy to listen to interesting stories, look at photos and posters, or maybe already decide on their future profession!
December 11 is International Mountain Day! Mark this day in red on your calendar. After all, only mountains that we have not yet seen can be better than mountains! It is impossible to forget this indescribable beauty, the sensations that you experience when looking at the virgin and majestic beauty! How many songs and poems have been written about unconquered peaks, clean water bodies and clear air! Take care of nature!
