In the mountains of Bolivia, an ecological and humanitarian disaster is in the making. As global temperatures rise, the glaciers in the Andes are melting.

Areas once permanently covered in snow and ice are now just exposed rock. But the country is dependent on water from the glaciers high up in the mountains, and the change is beginning to affect drinking water supplies.
