So the future for the Maasai without addressing the effects of climate change is dark, it's hopeless, and we need to take action.

So they act, setting up a non-profit organisation called Ildala Leketuk Maasai Action for Development.

They launch land restoration projects.

Teaching our people about our own mobility, our own nomadic pastoralism, how it was and how to apply it in the context of the issues we are facing with the climate change.

They work with families who lost their livelihoods.

We have a cow equity programme where we ask for support and try to distribute animals to families who don't have anything to depend on.

They look for organisations to work with them and start educating the community.

It is basically a living school where we teach people about our lives, about our culture, about our way of life.

And we have our own wise people, wise Masai elders, whom we have made to be our lecturers.

Two years after they began, the land and the people start to respond.

The impact of our work we started feeling in 2015.

We slightly had another drought, but by that time we have restored the Maasai mobility so we can move our animals and share with other villages.

Despite facing more droughts, Dalmas and his community continue to try and protect their land and their culture.

He now shares his story and travels around the world, including to Manchester in England, where I met him for this interview.

I find hope in the sense that the Maasai people are a very strong society and they are resilient and they are taking action.

The resilient and resourceful Dalmas Tiampati was speaking to Megan Jones.

Next, a moment from the history of one of the planet's greatest feats of construction, the Great Wall of China.

For this, we're going back to the 1980s when tourism was just beginning and there was little public knowledge about China's cultural heritage.

Sometimes when I stand on the wall, I feel like I'm having a conversation with people from ancient times.

When I put my hand on the stones, I think about how hundreds of years ago this stone was carved out of the mountains and placed on the wall by someone.
