This book explores how Quechua alpaca herders in the Peruvian highlands sense and make sense of climate change through subtle shifts in their interactions with humans, animals, and landscapes. It draws our attention to complicated practices of being-in-relation in a time of global instability. By analyzing climate change from the ground up, this book asks what the alpaca herders of the Andes can tell us about the state of the planet.
