The Wow: The Badlands of Alberta are a semi-arid dustbowl, rich with deposits of fossils and eerie pillars of fantastically shaped earth called hoodoos, which can reach 10 meters in height.
Why Now? Access to these hoodoos may change quickly since the Alberta government is working hard to protect and conserve these sites.

I wish there was an easier way to see the list than clicking on page numbers on bottom of the page.
A ‘next’ button would be so nice. Or scrolling down.
I gave up after no6.
Hey Tasha!
Totally hear you on the next button – we’re filing an enhancement on the pages and hope to have it fixed soon. Thank you so much for your feedback!

Great special report, lot of good travel ideas. Also a bit sad reading, as it is usually we humans that are changing things… often irrevocably.
A world without the mountain gorillas is unbearable thought, and there are too many fragile ecosystems already under threat. Your report highlights what a beautiful planet we live on, but also how badly we are treating it.
