In our show , every day we
talk about how climate change is
impacting the world . the climate crisis
is real in Peru. the situation is
particularly worrying,
freezing temperatures are being recorded
in Central and Southern parts of the
country . this is impacting the livelihood
of a lot of people who are dependent on
agriculture and livestock to sustain
themselves.
it’s not only the people who are facing
the Wrath of the freezing temperatures.
according to local federations , the cold
has resulted in the deaths of at least
500 alpacas in the last weeks. and
according to the regional Federation of
alpacara’s women, this year the total
number of animals who were affected by
climate change is estimated to stand at
25
000.
we are worried because we live off
alpacas, we have no other income and more
than half of alpacas have died . I don’t
know how we are going to survive.
this has led to the affected communities
to requests for immediate intervention
of the regional and National authorities.
and to declare a state of emergency in
the Andean region of Peru.
we ask for the national government to
declare an emergency , we hope that the
national government will immediately
declare the crisis in the sector, not
only in one cup of liquor but also in
the regions via kucho apurimac Bruno
Cusco in all the areas that are
dedicated to camel farming.
