Description
Honorable Mention To be "stewards of the land" is to know and understand what is happening around us. The word "sustainability" is significant in the realm of glaciers. With current melting rates and current climate trends, you and I may outlive many of these magnificent ecosystems. The loss of each glacier in a community is comparable to the loss of a friend or a guardian. In the Andes mountains of Southern Peru thanks is given to the "Nevado Coropuna" and reverence to the "Pacha Mama" (Mother Earth) as they are the source of life and bounty. As the "Nevado Coropuna" glacier shrinks, the sense of loss grows in the communities of guides, villagers, and farmers who live in the shadow of "El Nevado Coropuna".
