Climate change: Peru's melting glaciers contaminate water supply
Peru is home to more than 2,000 glaciers. But like elsewhere in the world, they are melting faster and faster due to climate change. The country’s glaciers have lost more than half of their surface area over the past 50 years and this change in the landscape is having catastrophic consequences for many residents of the Andes. The water they drink every day is being contaminated with heavy metals. FRANCE 24's Agathe Fourcade, Martin Chabal report, with Wassim Cornet.
