Pegunungan di seluruh dunia menghangat lebih cepat daripada dataran rendah di sekitarnya, menurut studi komprehensif, menyebabkan pergeseran salju, hujan, dan pasokan air yang memengaruhi lebih dari satu miliar orang. Penelitian ini menyoroti perubahan iklim tergantung ketinggian, dengan suhu naik 0,21°C per abad lebih cepat di wilayah pegunungan. Perubahan ini menimbulkan risiko bagi ekosistem, sumber daya air, dan keselamatan manusia di daerah seperti Himalaya.

This Karoo photo essay explores a mountain region that seems to have passed out of national memory: the Sneeuberg Ranges. It is the newly named Great Karoo Wilderness, in which some 200 Sneeuberg landowners have signed up to form the largest Protected Environment in South Africa. The area holds a deep history of habitation and conflict, its own botanical species, and vast, folded mountain landscapes for city dwellers seeking fresh air and rediscover forgotten trails.
