Yes, we can consider a mountain as a natural resource
Explanation:
- Mountains are an important source of water, energy and biological diversity. They are also a source of essential resources such as minerals, forests, and agricultural goods, as well as recreation.
- Mountain resources support about 10% of the world's population. Other mountain resources, particularly water, are used by a far bigger percentage of the population.
- Mountains are a haven for biological richness as well as endangered species. Mountain ecosystems, however, are fast changing. They're vulnerable to soil erosion, landslides, and rapid habitat and genetic diversity loss.
- On the human side, mountain dwellers face severe poverty and the loss of local knowledge. As a result, most mountain areas around the world are suffering from environmental degradation.
