Episode Synopsis
The final episode in Season One of Mountain Voices focuses on climate change and specifically three fascinating case studies. François Masse (Superintendent/Lake Louise, Parks Canada) charts both the factors which led to the loss of Abbot Pass Hut, a national historic site in Canada, and the lessons learnt. Piolet d’Or recipient Graham Zimmerman provides the insight of a professional climber who has witnessed the impact of climate change firsthand and who today is a major advocate for mountain protection. Pedro Lacaz Amaral, CEO & Founder of the Gear Tips Recycling Program in Brazil, offers positive news from an environmental project which won the 2023 UIAA Mountain Protection Award for its initiative in creating a system to properly collect and recycle gas cartridges.Discover more:Abbot Pass HutGear Tips Recycling ProgramGraham ZimmermanAbout Mountain VoicesMountain Voices is a podcast from the UIAA.
