Rob,

The challenges you’re witnessing in the Himalayas echo those here in the Andes, and the stakes are terrifyingly high. The increasing frequency of GLOFs, landslides, and droughts you describe paints a grim picture for the future. The devastation in the Thame River and the broader Khumbu Pasang Lhamu region is a stark reminder of how interconnected our struggles are, even continents apart. We’re all standing on the brink, facing losses that will reshape entire landscapes and the lives of those who depend on them.

Southern winds from Patagonia,

Ricky
