February 2024: Alex Massot – a colleague from the GEO Mountains Secretariat – and I have been kindly invited to extend our stay in Colombia by a group of mountain researchers, led by Professors Maria Elena Gutiérrez and Enrique Ángel from Universidad EIA.
The team are keen to show us the spectacular mountain environment in which they work, and give us a first-hand impression of some of the challenges it faces and which, with support from GEO Mountains, they are working intensively to better understand.
