The Ecological Importance of Mountain Ecosystems and the Possibilities of Artificial Intelligence in Achieving Sustainable Management: The Example of Azerbaijan

Mountain ecosystems play an important role when it comes to forming water resources. They help protect soil and keep biodiversity safe. They also help control the climate. They help keep heritage protected and make sure local communities are happy and healthy. The article looks at the dangers, ways to protect these areas, and how digital tools can be used in mountain regions. This is all based on reports from around the world and official data from Azerbaijan. A lot of focus is given to using intelligence to look at pictures from satellites. This helps in studying snow and water movement finding risks of floods and landslides early and watching over wildlife. A step-by-step plan is suggested for a pilot project in Azerbaijan. This work does not come from field studies but from looking at scientific papers and collecting ideas that can be used.
