The Big Issue #263
- 20 April to 19 May 2018
We turn our focus to adventures with purpose and profile several individuals who are braving extreme conditions in aid of a worthy cause.
First up is a team of six adventurers who set out to summit Ojos del Salado, the highest active volcano in the world, to raise awareness about Early Childhood Development in South Africa.
We also touch sides with South African Peter Dunn ahead of his trip to Campo on the USA’s Mexican border. Peter is walking the Pacific Coast Trail to encourage people to support the Childhood Cancer Foundation of South Africa.
Our cover story takes us to the Antarctic Peninsula, where Greenpeace is supporting a proposal by the European Union to create the biggest protected area on Earth. We certainly hope they succeed in doing so.
