In this powerful episode of Baskets of Knowledge, we sit down with Malaysian mountaineer and environmental educator Saravanan Sinniah, a man whose life changed the moment he fulfilled his childhood dream of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro… and discovered the heartbreaking reality of climate change with his own eyes.

From witnessing melting glaciers to leading young people through forests and ecosystems across Southeast Asia, Saravanan shares raw stories about purpose, leadership, awareness, and the importance of travelling the world, or at least your own backyard, to expand who you are.

We explore:
• The shrinking snowcaps of Kilimanjaro
• The shocking changes at Everest Base Camp
• What climate change really looks like on the ground
• Life-threatening moments in the wild (including tigers)
• How to lead by walking beside people, not in front
• Why young people might be the key to saving our future
• Awareness vs willingness, and why both matter
• The life lessons nature teaches us when we pay attention

If you’re craving perspective, purpose, or a deeper connection to the world around you, this conversation will stay with you long after you listen.
