The Climate Correspondent Jack Board of CNA traveled to Upper Mustang, formerly known as Nepal’s last forbidden kingdom, to film his award-winning digital video piece & nbsp, Climate Change, and Nepal, Dying Village in the Mountains.
The town of Samdzong is running dry perhaps as ice melt. Additionally, communities in the Himalayas are forced to adapt and remove themselves as a result of global warming.
Mr. Board described his experience as saying that filming the narrative was” an absolute privilege and problem.”
” Upper Mustang is a naturally spectacular atmosphere, and even though it seemed so far away, the local issues there are so connected to the global threat of climate change ,” he said. & nbsp,
It was the most physically taxing issue I’ve actually done in my life to get to the high-altitude glacial lake mentioned in the story. However, it is in these remote areas that culture change is having the most remarkable effects. What occurs away there is really important.
