Why

Mountains are beautiful but fragile ecosystems that are under severe pressure from pollution and climate change. In many mountain areas, littering is a growing problem that affects biodiversity and water quality. Mountain Riders exists to accelerate the transition to a sustainable mountain model and to protect the mountains for future generations.

Impact

Mission & goals

The organization has a clear vision: creating a livable and sustainable mountain environment. Their main objectives are:

  • Zero waste by 2030: Eradicating litter in the mountains through large-scale clean-up campaigns and prevention at the source.
  • Education and awareness: Training the youth and mobilizing the general public to respect nature.
  • Support for mountain stations: Assisting tourist destinations in making their policies more sustainable through the Flocon Vert label.
Actions

Mountain Riders translates their mission into concrete actions on the ground:

  • Waste Collection: They organize numerous clean-up days each year, during which thousands of kilos of waste are removed from nature by volunteers.
  • Flocon Vert Label: They manage this quality label that awards mountain areas meeting strict criteria in terms of environment, social dynamics, and sustainable economy.
  • Educational Programs: The organization conducts interventions in schools and develops playful tools to teach children how they can become 'drivers of change'.
  • Knowledge Sharing: Through monthly webinars and workshops, they facilitate a network of experts and citizens working together on solutions for mobility, energy, and biodiversity.

"We work every day towards a desired and livable mountain environment where all forms of life can coexist without harming each other."

— Antoine Chouvellon, founder of Mountain Riders
