#InternationalMountainDay

by Kristen Hoover

Roamm cares about the world around us ESPECIALLY mountains. Mountains provide the world with freshwater, food and clean energy. In 2003, the United Nations General Assembly designated December 11 as "International Mountain Day". Every year this day is celebrated to "create awareness about the importance of mountains to life, to highlight the opportunities and constraints in mountain development and to build alliances that will bring positive change to mountain peoples and environments around the world."
