In a recent report, UNESCO highlighted 5 glaciers on earth being irreversibly affected by climate change, with drastic consequences for the local population. Our team will climb these glaciers bringing images of the problem, and contact local population to register the impact on daily living. (pt version at: http://icecare.blogs.sapo.pt/)

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.
