Every green speck on these moraines is a tiny testament to life’s push into the open.
And each one helps us learn how landscapes reshape themselves in a warming world.

💙 Still, Alpine ibex are a symbol of mountain strength: they move, they adapt, they persist. But their future depends on keeping the high alpine environment healthy and that means caring about glaciers, snow-cover, clean water, and cooler summers.

The local Bakonzo community’s intimate knowledge of the terrain proved invaluable for the expedition. They have long lived at the base of the mountain range and consider the glaciers sacred. The ice is where the Bakonzo god Kithasamba lives. For centuries, this spiritual connection has influenced how the Bakonzo interact with the environment, reinforcing conservation and sustainable use of natural resources
