The relentless drive to produce and consume more has affected the world climate, and the rising temperatures are melting Bhutan glaciers, the source of its water and electricity.

As landslides, erosion and floods increase, the nomadic people of the remote Laya region in the Eastern Himalaya have to adapt to survive. These yak-herding pastoralists live among the glaciers and migrate to Punakha at lower altitudes every winter. They are especially knowledgeable about medicinal herbs while cordyceps fungi provides them with extra income.
