Project Description

Global Mountain Landscape: Extensive highland regions characterized by rugged terrain, often including mountain ranges and plateaus. These areas play a vital role in providing freshwater resources, supporting biodiversity, and offering unique ecosystems.

Connection to Climate Change: Global mountain landscapes are particularly susceptible to climate change impacts, including temperature rise and altered precipitation patterns. These changes can lead to glacial melt, altered water flow, and ecosystem shifts, affecting both local communities and downstream regions. Preserving mountain landscapes is crucial for mitigating these impacts and maintaining the health of surrounding ecosystems and communities.
