This inspiring journey began in December with a masterclass by Mumbai’s first Bicycle Mayor, Firoza Dadan, a climate action trailblazer. She shared her mission for sustainable mobility through the Smart Commute Foundation’s Cycle Chala City Bacha initiative, aiming to make cycling a preferred mode of commute and a way of life in Mumbai, planting the seed for Cyclothon 1.https://staging.culturecrossroads.ca/posts/international-mountain-day-afforestation-initiatives-repair-the-himalayan-ecosystem/Thu, 12 Dec 2024 07:01:00 +0000https://staging.culturecrossroads.ca/posts/international-mountain-day-afforestation-initiatives-repair-the-himalayan-ecosystem/According to eco-scientists, the Himalayas, the biodiversity hotspot home to thousands of species of plants, birds and mammals, play a crucial role in regulating India’s environmental and climatic conditions. However, these mountains face increasing threats from climate change, overexploitation and pollution, which endanger biodiversity and the well-being of people reliant on them. Highlighting these challenges on International Mountain Day (December 11), environmentalists say that enhancing forest cover can be one of the most cost-effective and practical measures to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
