Ice Stupas and How They Can Solve Glacier Melting
The Himalayas, especially the arid Ladakh, have a fragile ecosystem in which lives and livelihoods heavily depend on the surrounding environment. The glaciers are a significant life support as they provide fresh drinking water to the local communities.
These are melting rapidly due to climate change and ‘modernity' causing destruction. People in the Himalayas are not against modernity or science but instead believe in the ‘science of healing’; this is why the local communities living in the rugged Himalayan terrains can contribute towards solving the problems of climate change. These communities can share a host of lessons on simple and sustainable living with the world.
