Gorillas, snow leopards, and bears are examples of species dependent on healthy mountain ecosystems.
Yet, the climate crisis is putting them under mounting pressure.
#GenerationRestoration is vital for protecting and reviving mountain regions.

Billions of people depend on mountain ecosystems for water, food & income. But 84% of mountain species are at risk of extinction. This Mountain Day #IMD2023, learn about #GenerationRestoration actions for #mountains https://t.co/KCKJyyveGS
Mountains are home to 15% of the world's population and a quarter of land animals & plants.
Their conservation is key for achieving the #GlobalGoals.
Monday is International Mountain Day. https://t.co/45kNPk1DVV
Today, on #InternationalMountainDay I'm reminded of my childhood on the majestic slopes of Kilimanjaro. Mountains are not just beautiful landscapes; but vital to our planet. They provide 60-80% of our freshwater. Lets cherish and protect these natural wonders 4 future generations
