Living With Change: Voices from Ladakh : Director: Stanzin Dorjai-Gya | Genre: Documentary | Produced In: 2008

Synopsis: The Himalayan mountain system cradles in its lap, the unique desert ecosystem
of Ladakh. Untouched by rapid development till recently, the nomadic and pastoral
communities would live off the elements in harmony with rare species of migratory birds,
like the Black-Necked Crane and mammals like the Snow Leopard, in fertile concentrations
around their glacier-fed wetlands. However, the balance has been tipped in the last ten years.
Unsustainable development, increased human pressure and climate change has created an
environment which is no longer predictable to its people and species. Living with Change,
is an attempt made by WWF to listen and record these changes as voiced straight from the
hearts of the people who live there. The farmers, tour guides, local leaders, scientists
and even those with a passion for Ladakh’s beauty have been approached and their stories
have been captured. Through this 19min- long film WWF brings to you the people of Ladakh,
voicing their stories of change.
