Into This is the second Arctic expedition of the WWF in 12 months, following the journey of research entitled “Navigating to Siku: trip last ice territory” in the summer of 2012. From August 13 to 26 WWF International organized an expedition to the Taimyr Peninsula in the Laptev Sea, one of the least explored areas of the Arctic Russian. Its purpose is to determine, through a collection of genetic material, if there are populations of walruses and polar bears Laptev genetically distinct, or if the sea animals Laptev are linked to one or more adjacent populations. The answer to this question is necessary for the development of effective monitoring systems for both species and to determine the necessary actions to protect them.

Into Clive Tesar, Head of Communications and External Relations for the WWF Global Arctic Programme commented: “The support of Canon has been instrumental in helping to unravel the mystery of the animals on the alleged link to the Laptev surrounding populations. It is also a great opportunity to share this part of the world almost unknown through photography and video, making the Arctic visible to people around the world. “
