Ilulissat Icefjord, the UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the biggest glacier outside of Antarctica and the most active glacier in the northern hemisphere. On the Mercator projection map, Greenland seem to be as large as US, in fact, US is about 4.5 times bigger than Greenland! Greenland is still a big island, but almost 80 percent of the land mass is covered by an ice cap and glaciers. However, the ice-free area is nearly as large as Sweden!

There are approximately one million yaks in Mongolia, giving the country the second-largest yak population in the world after China. Two main types are traditionally distinguished according to the regions where they are raised: the Khangai yak and the Altai Mountain yak. For centuries, yaks have been an important part of life in Mongolia’s high mountains and cold grasslands. They provide herding families with rich milk for butter, yogurt and cheese, fiber for warm clothing and rope, and strength for carrying loads across rugged terrain. Exceptionally adapted to bitter winters, high elevations and sparse pastures, yaks embody the close relationship between Mongolian herders, their livestock and the land.

Soon, I will be returning to one of my favorite places — the Utah badlands. Badlands are dry, heavily eroded landscapes formed from soft sedimentary rocks and clay-rich soils. Over time, wind and water sculpt these materials into steep slopes, deep gullies, sharp ridges, and other dramatic formations, often with little vegetation. Erosion also exposes layers of sediment and minerals, revealing striking bands of red, orange, yellow, gray, and other colors. With their extraordinary geology, Utah badlands are among the most fascinating and photogenic landscapes I have ever encountered.

Brown bear in Finland. Brown bears have an extraordinary sense of smell as their nasal cavity contains a large area of scent-detecting tissue, allowing them to pick up extremely faint odors and distinguish among many different smells. Bears can often be seen lifting their noses and sniffing the air, using the wind to determine where a scent is coming from. Although it is often claimed that bears can smell food from miles away, there is no single scientifically established maximum distance. How far a scent travels depends on factors such as wind, terrain, humidity and the strength of the odor.

The Wild Camel Protection Foundation (WCPF) is proud to participate in the 17th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD COP17) in from 17th to 28th August 2026 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, bringing the story of the endangered Wild Camel (Camelus ferus) to an international audience.

Throughout COP17, WCPF is exhibiting at the Science and Community Pavilion in the Green Zone, where the Wild Camel exhibit has attracted many visitors and generated strong interest among conference participants.

During COP17, the WCPF team, including Dr. Adiya Yadamsuren, Dr. Kah-Wai Lin, Tsendee-Ayush and Gajidmaa Ulammunkh, has been meeting with government representatives, scientists, conservationists and organizations from Mongolia and around the world. These meetings have provided valuable opportunities to share the story of the Wild Camel, highlight the challenges facing the species, exchange knowledge and explore potential collaborations in conservation, scientific research and education.

WCPF team was particularly honored to meet Mr. Tsend Sandag-Ochir (Цэндийн Сандаг-Очир), Minister of Environment and Climate Change of Mongolia (Байгаль орчин, уур амьсгалын өөрчлөлтийн яам) and Chair of the National Committee for UNCCD COP17. The team also had the pleasure of meeting representatives from the British Embassy and the Embassy of Canada, creating opportunities to discuss the importance of protecting Mongolia’s unique wildlife and fragile desert ecosystems.

The Wild Camel has also attracted interest from the media during COP17. Dr. Adiya Yadamsuren was interviewed by a television channel, providing an important opportunity to introduce the Wild Camel and WCPF’s conservation work to a wider audience and raise public awareness of the urgent need to protect this endangered species.

WCPF’s participation in COP17 provides an important opportunity to bring the Wild Camel into the global conversation on desertification, biodiversity and climate resilience. WCPF is grateful for the tremendous interest in the Wild Camel at COP17 and looks forward to continuing these conversations and building new partnerships throughout the conference and beyond.

Eurasian wolf (Canis lupus lupus) is the wolf subspecies found across Finland and much of northern Eurasia. A wolf pack is usually a family, consisting of a breeding pair and their offspring. In Finland, a single wolf pack can roam across a vast territory covering hundreds to more than 1,000 km², depending on prey availability and habitat.

In just a few days, the Wild Camel will take its place on the world stage. The Wild Camel Protection Foundation is preparing to attend United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) COP17 in Mongolia, joining scientists, conservationists, policymakers and world leaders working to combat desertification and protect some of our planet’s most fragile ecosystems.

For more than 25 years, we have worked to protect one of the world’s rarest large mammals. Now, we have the opportunity to bring the story of the Wild Camel to delegates from nearly 200 countries.

For a species that remains largely unknown to much of the world, this is an important moment. Every conversation, every new partnership and every new supporter bring us one step closer to securing a future for the Wild Camel and the desert landscapes it calls home.

Brown bear (Ursus arctos) is Finland’s national animal and holds an important place in Finnish folklore. Around 2,000 brown bears live in Finland, mainly in the eastern and central forests. Although a bear standing upright may look intimidating, this is usually not an aggressive gesture, it often stands simply to get a better view or to pick up scents from its surroundings.
