Melting Away in the Andes
Peru - May 26, 2009 - TRT: 04:02
Posted by: Quinn Costello
In the misty mountains of the Vilcanota Cordillera, southeast of Cusco, on the steep slopes of the Andes, the Q'eros grow potatoes, herd alpaca, chew coca and pray to the mountain deities they call Apus. On my recent research trip to the Q'eros village of Qochamoqo, I was accompanied by Milton Gamarra, the Potato Repatriation Coordinator with Associación ANDES, who hiked in at harvest time to see how different potato varieties were doing in the face of climate change. The Q'eros harvested three fields at varying elevations and carefully bagged the different types of potatoes to determine how each seed type is faring under a variety of conditions. As El Niños come and go over the years, resilience has always been central to the vitality of Q'eros culture, and as the planet warms and the glaciers melt, the Q'eros are determined to be on the cutting edge of awareness with regard to climate change and what they can do to survive it.
