Brian FurzeBrian Furze ( www.brianfurze.com ) is an educator and advocate for community-based trekking whose work has included the Indian Himalaya, particularly Uttarakhand, for many years. and amp;nbsp;Through this, Brian promotes trekking that strengthens comunity resilience and fosters meaningful connections between visitors, local communities and place. For him, trekking is a form of mutual exchange, where local guides, porters, villagers and their landscapes are central to the experience of trekkers, not just peripheral or background. and amp;nbsp;He continues to contribute to conversations about characteristics of ethical travel in high mountain regions that are facing significant change. and amp;nbsp; Brian lives in southeast Australia on the Murray River, within an hour of the Australian Alps.
