International Mountain Day, celebrated since 2003 through the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, creates awareness about the importance of mountains to life, highlights the opportunities and constraints in mountain development, and builds alliances that will bring positive change to mountain peoples and environments worldwide.
Following through with our dedication to combating climate change and promoting sustainability, Volunteer.KRD held a cleanup on Zawa Mountain in Duhok, and several public figures and over fifty volunteers participated. Our volunteers collected fifty bags of waste, and we gave each volunteer three oak tree seeds to plant.
Through this cleanup, we were able to promote action against climate change for a cleaner and greater Kurdistan, especially in an area significant to Kurdistan: our mountains.
