Ladakh’s Artificial Glaciers -
Even as climate change and its effects are hotly debated in boardrooms & conference halls across the globe, in many parts of the world it is becoming uncomfortably real, impinging on the lives of common folk.
In Ladakh’s glacier-fed farmlands, this reality has become a direct threat to survival as snowcaps melt prematurely and glacial waters recede at an alarming rate.
Fortunately, one crusader’s simple science is slowly but surely turning the tide….
Meet Chewang Norphel, Ladakh’s glacier man and see how his artificial glaciers have transformed Ladakh’s farms from drought-ridden to high yielding.
See how an entire community’s concerted determination have backed his vision and rekindled hope in a land that’s bearing the brunt of global warming.
