What happens to our collective memory when the places that hold it begin to disappear?

In this urgent episode, we confront the climate crisis through the lens of World Heritage sites — places that not only preserve nature and culture, but also carry the stories of who we are.

We will journey through:

· Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina, where the rapid retreat of glaciers is reshaping ecosystems and threatening the water sources of millions

· Historic Bridgetown, Barbados, where we witness the growing intensity of tropical storms and their toll on both heritage and daily life

· The forests of Mexico, for a breathtaking journey to discover the fragile and symbolic migration of monarch butterflies, now imperiled by drought and rising temperatures

These landscapes are more than scenery — they carry memory, identity, and legacy. As they fade, so too does a part of us.

Description

Step into the heart of Latin America and the Caribbean with "Your Heritage, Your Story", a powerful podcast series from UNESCO that brings World Heritage sites to life. These are not just places — they are living stories that echo with the voices of our ancestors and shape the dreams of our future.

This season, in three compelling episodes — available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese — we journey through:

The Route of Enslaved Peoples, uncovering powerful stories of resistance and resilience

The frontlines of climate change, where experts reveal how rising seas and shifting weather threaten our most treasured heritage

Shared heritage across borders, exploring how countries unite to protect the legacies they hold in common

From the icy majesty of Patagonia’s glaciers to the lush peaks of Jamaica’s Blue and John Crow Mountains, from the ancient Inca roads to the haunting history of Valongo Wharf in Rio de Janeiro, and from the revolutionary spirit of Haiti to the delicate migration of monarch butterflies — this is a journey through time, memory, and meaning.

This podcast series has been made possible with the generous support of the Government of Brazil.
