VOICED: Peru paints mountain to restore melting glacier

In a remote part of the Peruvian Andes, an experimental project led by inventor Eduardo Gold aims to regrow glaciers by painting mountain peaks white. This environmentally friendly initiative reflects sunlight, potentially reducing temperatures and reversing glacier melt. While the project offers hope to local communities for water replenishment, it faces skepticism from experts and officials. If successful, Gold plans to expand the project to other threatened glacial regions.
