About this listen
International Mountain Day highlights the beauty and importance of the world’s mountains, which cover about a quarter of Earth’s land and supply most of the planet’s fresh water. Mountains form through tectonic forces—folding, faulting, or volcanic activity—creating ranges like the Himalayas, Sierra Nevada, and Mount Fuji. They provide food, energy, clean air, recreation, and habitats for wildlife and people. This day encourages youth and communities to protect mountain environments and appreciate these “water towers of the world.” From hiking and learning local geology to sharing photos and stewardship efforts, it’s a reminder of how mountains inspire us to look upward and care for the earth.
