Biodiversidad

Las montañas del mundo abarcan algunos de los paisajes más espectaculares y llenos de vida que se pueden encontrar solo a una determinada altitud y en una cordillera o montaña especifica.

Como arcas de la vida preservando una gran parte de la biodiversidad del planeta, las montañas merecen la atención internacional.
