- The climate has always changed, but never as quickly as now, said glaciologist Edson Ramirez, one of Bolivia's leading experts on climate changes. The small village Khapi in Bolivia, at the foot of Mount Illimani, is one of the places in Latin America most heavily affected by global climate change. In recent years, more than 40 people have moved away from the small village. Lack of clean water is one of the main reasons why people move.
