Filmmaker and water conservationist Lobzang Wangtak's latest documentary “I Am Zanskar” is a portrait of an ecologically fragile landscape that is undergoing rapid changes. With glaciers receding at an alarming rate and erratic snowfall patterns, Ladakh’s Zanskar Valley is already witnessing some of the most dramatic climate impacts. In this interview, Wangtak shares the inspiration behind the film, the community-led water conservation efforts in the region, and his dreams for a future where tourism can co-exist with conservation and preservation of the ecology and cultural traditions of Zanskar.
