Sustainable water development and the mitigation of large-scale natural disasters in river basins depend in large measure on the ways in which upstream water sources and soils are protected. Environmental services provided by mountains are often only noticed when they are lost, as in the case of downstream floods caused by upstream deforestation. As half of humanity depends on fresh water that originates in mountain watersheds, protecting environmental services provided by mountain regions is highly important for lobal environmental security.
