Mountains provide food, medicine, water and help regulate air quality.

Pastoralists also play a vital role as stewards of Indigenous and local knowledge and the rangelands that span 1/2 the planet.

During #YearOfRangelandsAndPastoralists, we honour both people and landscapes.

[UNESCO @UNESCO]

Access to drinking water is a basic need, but responsibility for securing it is not shared equally.

🌧️☀️ Did you know.... flood risk can actually increase after droughts?

Why? Dry, scorched soil becomes solid, unable to absorb heavy rain—leading to surface runoff and flash floods. 🌊

Healthy soil helps prevent floods. 🌱
