The Swiss Alps Are Changing

December 10, 2019 / activist360 / Leave a comment

The Swiss Alps are suffering the effects of climate change. As permafrost zones (rocks and soil that used to be frozen permanently) melt, they have caused massive rock slides.

The famous mountains, The Eiger and Matterhorn, have been hit by rockslides. Villages are also impacted. In 2003, the town of Pontresina built a huge dam to protect itself from mud and rock slides.

Switzerland’s Alpine region is right now in the grip of a climate disaster, as warmer temperatures have seen glaciers shrink by 10 percent in the last five years.

Though he won international renown, his enemies made many attempts on his life and Chico was assassinated in December of 1988. This unique documentary contains Chico’s last interview, filmed only three weeks before his death.
