UNEP adds paraglider to Mountain Heroes team
Hong Kong-based paraglider and film-maker Malcolm Wood has joined a campaign called Mountain Heroes, set up by the UN Environment Programme. He will join a select group of other athletes, including Canadian ice climber Will Gadd, Austrian cyclist Michael Strasser, Kenyan skier Sabrina Simader, and UK adventurer Ben Fogle.

Mountain Heroes aims to help draw attention to emerging environmental issues in mountains, including climate change, waste management and biodiversity loss.
