Andean countries losing quality water sources

The melting of glaciers in the Andes mountain range is a threat to the population of countries including Bolivia and Peru, said Nilda Rojas, head of the National Council of Ayllus and Markas of Qullasuyu, on Thursday.

"Our glaciers are melting, and this has consequences," Rojas said on the fourth day of the 20th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Lima, Peru.

The leader confirmed reports made by experts of the National Geographic Society.
