Our last week in Mongolia was spent preparing to present our research to the local community […] The day of the presentations, we were running on minimal hours of sleep, but everyone gave very well-articulated, informative presentations. A highlight was getting to see the snow leopard that our camera traps had spotted – a first for any Round River trip!

We headed back into the talus to count and measure juvenile and adult Vansemberuu plants across ten plots on the mountain. We accomplished something that no other Round River group has done: We finished all ten plots on the mountain in one day!

The next day we went out to retrieve four camera traps, it was going to be a long day for us all. We packed our daypacks and set off toward the Mongash River, which is still frozen enough to walk on safely. We decided that since we had extra cameras, there was an interest in setting a camera up to watch the ice of the river melt on a timelapse setting to retrieve in a few weeks when the ice breaks and melts. The cameras all went smoothly, and we captured boar, elk, moose, and other smaller mammals.
