![]() ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN
One of many features that make
Mount Kilimanjaro famous, are the
glaciers at its summit, which
began to form about 11,700
years ago. In 1912, Science
reported that these glaciers
measured 4.8 square miles -
by the year 2000 they had
shrunk to a meagre 1 square mile
Now the glaciers are melting so
quickly that they may be gone
altogether by 2020. However,
further research is needed to
determine to what extent global
warming is responsible for the demise of Kilimanjaro’s glaciers.
EXPLOITATION OF LABOUR
Unfortunately there are many
trek operators around the world especially on the Machhu Pichu trail, in Peru and Kilimanjaro treks who exploit the local labour. Paying porters abnormally low wages, allocating loads that are in excess of a fair carrying amoung and generally directing employees to carry out tasks without due care or safety with respect to conditions and equipment.
