“Alone on a misty mountain
I come to a clearing.
Sunlight on green moss.
I am not alone,”
~chinese poem

(ontem foi o dia internacional das montanhas -
- as montanhas são lindas e fazem bem à alma -
- mas também têm outros benefícios -
Mountains make up 25% of the planet’s land mass
They are home to 85% of the world’s mammals, amphibians and birds
The Himalayas serve as a critical water supply for over a billion people
Around one in ten people call mountains home
At least half the world’s population rely on mountain ecosystems
Mountains provide between 60-80% of our fresh water supplies
A quarter of the planet’s biodiversity are in mountain ecosystems )
