Mountains are sacred landscapes around the world.
Every year on December 11 International Mountain Day celebrates
sustainable mountain development.
The theme for the International Mountain Day 2010 is “Mountain
Minorities and Indigenous Peoples”. It aims to raise awareness
about indigenous peoples and minorities who live in mountain environments
and the relevance of their cultural heritage, traditions and customs.
This year's International Mountain Day provides an apt occasion
to reflect on how important it is to empower indigenous communities
and help them promote and preserve traditional knowledge, including
sciences, agricultural practices, responses to global change, medicines
and health practices, fauna and flora, oral traditions, crafts and
arts.
