#Mongolia is known for #desertification, but very few people realise that #mining industry is largely to blame. Thanks to the cooperation with #herders and their knowledge, Batmunkh Luvsandash has fought to #protect more than a million acres of #steppe lands.

New open-access paper! A team including Dr. Darla Zelenitsky (UCalgary) describes Duonychus tsogtbaatari, a bizarre two-fingered therizinosaur from Cretaceous Mongolia. Its huge claws and reduced fingers provide new insight into theropod evolution and forelimb reduction. Exceptional fossil preservation even shows the keratin sheath on the claws!

Painting of a Duonychus in a forest. The forest looks quite tropical and dense. The Duonychus is covered in fine feathers with longer feathers on the forelimbs. It's using its two giant claws on each hand to pull the leaves in towards its mouth.
A skeletal of Duonychus, showing which elements of the skeleton were found and which are inferred. The found bones include many in the hip, the back, and the forelimbs / claws. Surrounding the illustration are pictures of the fossil bones themselves.
A closeup illustration of the hands of Duonychus. It has only two fingers, each with enormous claws.

"Due to a lack of housing in #Ulaanbaatar, people build #gers – circular white tents clad with felt around a thin latticed-wood frame. The structures have no running water and a central stove feeds out through a chimney pipe in the roof. Pit latrines are dug outside. More than 50% of #Mongolia’s population live in gers, with about 800,000 people in Ulaanbaatar alone – about half the city’s population. An estimated 196,000 domestic #chimneys puff #coal fumes into the dry city air, with each household burning an average of 23kg of coal daily in winter."

‘Everyone is breathing this’: how just trying to stay warm is killing thousands a year in the world’s coldest capital - theguardian.com/global-develop "In #Ulaanbaatar, coal fires heat almost every home. But as extreme weather drives families off the Mongolian steppes into the city the air is becoming more deadly" #mongolia
