Journal on Protected Mountain Areas Research and Management
The effects of climate and glaciers on society have been particularly severe in Peru’s Cordillera Blanca (White Mountains) – home of the indigenous Quechua-speaking people. Some even go so far as to say Peruvians have paid a higher price than most for melting glaciers. Yet, despite convincing arguments in call-to-action internet bulletins and scientific articles, little information is available regarding human responses to, or societal impacts of, diminishing glaciers in mountain regions, especially those in developing countries.
