Pemba Nimba Bhutia has spent over 25 years in the mountains of Eastern Himalayas, Sikkim, herding yak and sheep. He believes in coexisting with nature but has seen the effects of climate change - rising temperatures, harsher snowfalls, and less rain. Pemba believes the new generation can improve this age-old tradition with science and technology, but he remains committed to the mountains, his way of life, and has no desire to move to the busy cities.
