  • Phuntsho Tshering is Bhutan’s glacier specialist and the only person authorised to climb the Himalayan country’s sacred mountains. He spends months away from home measuring the rapidly melting glaciers, while faithfully recording videos on his phone for his daughter, Yangchen.
    Yangchen in turn has an inner dilemma. She prays that her father won’t disturb the Snow Lion, the mythical embodiment of the glacier which the Bhutanese believe could provoke a natural disaster. Meanwhile at school she is taught that the biggest threat to survival of the Snow Lion is not her father, but climate change.

    Oh, Bhutan!
    When the rest if civilization dies, you will be our last testimonial to the hopeless state of man!
    Teach your children well. Respect your elders. Love the Earth.

    Bhutan is home to some of the highest unclimbed mountains in the world. We are very grateful to The Royal Government for banning summit climbing for eternal.
    Inspiring documentary with an apt message 🎉, thank you for sharing to the world.

    Takk for en veldig fin film som viste mange sider i å drive landbruk idag. Ikke bare at jeg elsker sauer , kan bare ane hvor mye jobb det er til jeg får en ferdig garnnøste av vår fine norske ull! Landbruket og matproduksjon er livsviktig og må støttes på en mye bedre måte enn nå ! Politikerne skal ikke bare se på store industribedrifter , livsviktig å støtte vår nasjonal matproduksjon !

      Why should he "survive a day" at the place you mentioned? He is not climbing these Himalayan mountains cause he wants to, he is doing to do survey of the glaciers so that the Bhutanse government can take appropriate actions to prevent flooding/bursting of any glacier lakes , he is spending months away from his family doing this which I don't think understand the value

      Our ancestors were omnivores and our bodies are built accordingly (teeth, digestion etc.). We cannot live on plants alone. Veganism is not healthy and it won't save the environment, either.
      By the way, did you know that by building off shore windparks the ocean floor gets irreparably damaged? That's just one example of many of how ideology destroys nature.
