khimoor tells the inspiring story of goharyat, a 75-year-old artisan from a stunning, culturally rich region in gilgit-baltistan, pakistan renowned for its majestic glaciers. in his pursuit to preserve his community’s traditional craft, goharyat planted forests that once formed the backbone of his creative livelihood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

from bricklaying to crafting utensils, his work embodied cultural heritage. however, the influx of tourists and the harsh realities of climate change have taken a devastating toll. glacial melting has not only washed away the lands near his home but also led to the disappearance of the vital trees that supported his craft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

this profound loss forced him to adapt and acquire new skills, and today, his journey stands as an inspirational example in his community, guiding others in tree cultivation and sustainable practices. his story poignantly illustrates how climate change is eroding not just the environment but also the cultural fabric of traditional communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

khimoor highlights the urgent need to protect both cultural heritage and the natural resources that sustain it, showing resilience in the face of a changing world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
