In Peru, Quechua Indians work the land in the same way as the Incas did centuries ago.But climate change might force them to change their practices in the future. Experts say most of the glaciers which provide these communities with water will melt away by 2050 because of global warming.

Media Expansion; Climate change puts Peru Indians' farming life
DePeta51 on Nov 10 09
I could not expand this video into YouTube, thus, could not add it to my You Tube Account, not get it for sharing the code with others. This is a little bummer because I am the Moderator for some online groups, including Native Americans, plus, I work with some blogs etc.
I want peope to see the connectivity with these regional issues on a global scale.
