A Buddhist Monk stands in front of the Everest Mountain in the Himalayan mountain range. He has water in a bucket which he raises in a gesture to symbolize the loss of water from the region. The Pu Mai village depends on the water source from the Rongbuk Glacier Mount Everest (Qomolangma). These Glaciers are one of the prime sources of water feeding into the major rivers of China and India and are receding faster than in any other part of the world as a result of global warming. These villagers are feeling the effects drier conditions and water shortage.
