Climate change in Central Asia with Dr Kate Leeming

In this podcast we welcome back Dr Kate Leeming who embarked on a 5-month, 9000km bicycle expedition following the Syr Darya River from its source in Kyrgyzstan to the Aral Sea and from there along the Amu Darya to discover its true source into the Wakhan Corridor in Afghanistan.
This amazing feat was conducted by a small team where the use of a bike meant that Kate could make connections with people that are not easily done when in a car.

Kate talks about her experiences out in the field, the impacts climate change is having on the region as well as how people are working to try and mitigate these challenges.
