Pastoruri glacier melting – at Huascarán park in Peru

For those who still have some doubts about climate change really happening…

We were there. We’ve seen it.

School above the 4.000 m

On our way to the Pastoruri glacier (or ex-glacier, since it’s not even called a glacier anymore), we stopped at the great school at more than 4.000 m high. The children seemed undisturbed by the altitude sickness.

Peru expedition Day 1

On the first day we drove from Lima to Huaraz, on this insane road, carved in the sand.

Working with the Maasai people

A school becomes a church and a kitchen becomes a meeting room. They received us as if we were family, because they knew we were going to talk about very important issues for the livelihoods of the Maasai people and cultures. More than 300 people attended the meeting. First the prayers, then the elders and after this, my turn came. I explained the causes of global warming and how it’s affecting the Kilimanjaro’s glaciers and consequently the climate of their region. Then it was time for the photographers to present their work, showing the human consequences of the drought. In the end we talked about ways of working together and solutions to mitigate the problem.
