Tropics, Frost and Perpetual Ice

Glaciers are melting all around the world. Permafrost soils, that originated in the last ice age, are thawing. Biodiversity is declining and more and more animal and plant species are under threat. Yet, a high level of biodiversity is closely linked with the preservation of our ecosystems. Director Peppo Wagner sets out in search of answers alongside three scientific experts. Glaciologist Anton Neureiter, permafrost researcher Annett Bartsch and biologist Anton Weissenhofer painstakingly attempt to try and assess the current state of the world’s climate and to forecast future developments.
