“Climate Witnesses” is the story of the search for evidence of climate change in Latvia. It’s the story of changes in animal populations, plant diversity and natural cycles. But most importantly it is the story of people who live in harmony with nature – watching that nature change around them and learning to live with those changes. The heroes of these stories rarely use the term ‘climate change’ or ‘global warming’ themselves, but rather tell us about the places where they live and work.
