Previous landmarks: 500,000,000 people

1. A new story with a less well-known or rare animal (a new animal is gold dust!) 2. A new or unusual story with a top species (e.g. bears, foxes, reindeer, eagle, etc) 3. A spectacle (e.g. breath-taking landscapes, animals collected in numbers, or places showing dramatic change)

Key elements of a potential exciting story: 1. Characterful, spectacular or emotional (funny/ sad/ heroic) 2. Visible – what will we see
