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.

Sin embargo el cambio climático, la pobreza, la minería comercial, la tala ilegal y el furtivismo son una pesada carga: los gorilas de montaña en centro de África del este, el oso de anteojos de los Andes y los resplandecientes quetzales de América Central están siendo recluidos en reservas de bosques nublados cada vez más pequeñas.

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