There are no glaciers left in the Sierra.
This morning the Chairman of the Tairona Heritage Trust, Jean-Paul Mertinez, the Kogi-speaking anthropologist Falk Parra-Witte and I met for a long breakfast in London with the Cabildo of the Organisación Gonawindua Tayrona, José Santos Sauna. He was returning to Colombia after a conference in Oxford with the Amazon Conservation Team (ACT), who are working extensively in the Sierra. Santos was accompanied by Isidoro Hazbun, an associate programme officer of ACT, who comes from Santa Marta and is based in Washington.
