Dear RosaLaura,
Wonderful to see your email and know that you are collecting stories from
mountain regions and see how global warming has affected these areas.
I would like to share a video link that might interest you. We have been
seeing a transition in agricultural practices in the villages of Ladakh,
India. The village showed in this video is above 14000 ft and moving
towards new practices. We see the communities are accepting the changes and
adapting to it. These are the steps they are taking to become truly
resilient.

Does this count as a story? If yes, I would write 500 words and share with
you. Let me know if you need any more information.
Thank you
Manjiri Gaikwad
