Winning a 2023 Rolex Award helps Liu Shaochuang to scale up his research by tracking and monitoring more wild camels. While he keeps his efforts focused on the animals, Liu is hopeful the model his team has created can be used by conservationists around the world to protect other endangered species, such as snow leopards and Siberian tigers.

This is our Rolesor. Developed in the 1930s, it combines steel and gold. Bold at first glance, this unique marriage of robustness and nobility has become a signature alliance; better yet, a symbol of unity within difference. Meticulously studied, this association showcases the emblematic parts of our watches – bezel, bracelet and crown – thanks to our 18ct yellow, white or Everose gold. A winning combination, Rolesor embraces contrasts. It creates no opposition, only endless possibilities. Discover more on.rolex.com/Rolesor_ #Rolex #Watchmaking #Perpetual

Through the use of tracking collars and remote sensing technology, 2023 Rolex Awards Laureate Liu Shaochuang has been monitoring the movements of wild camels across the Gobi Desert. He has found their habitat is shrinking as a result of climate change and human activity, placing them in greater danger of both predation and disease. Liu believes that by identifying the threats the camels face, his findings can help mitigate them and protect the critically endangered species.

Liu Shaochuang, a 2023 Rolex Awards Laureate, is using a modern solution to help an ancient creature. For thousands of years, wild camels have roamed the vast plains of the Gobi Desert in Mongolia and China but they are now critically endangered. A remote sensing specialist, Liu uses tracking collars and satellite technology to help study the elusive camels across 200,000 square kilometres of inhospitable terrain. By bringing his expertise to this venture, he believes the new insight he can offer could prove crucial in the efforts to protect the enigmatic species.

Earth’s atmosphere contains six times as much water as all the planet’s rivers combined. Kenyan entrepreneur and 2023 Rolex Awards Laureate Beth Koigi uses atmospheric water generators to pull water out of the air and is already providing people in arid regions with hundreds of thousands of litres of fresh water. Koigi’s next venture is a series of “water kiosks” planned for the heart of one of the largest refugee camps in Africa, Kakuma Refugee Camp and Kalobeyei Integrated Settlement in northern Kenya’s extremely arid region of Turkana. A local shopkeeper who has been set up with the first unit will sell the water it generates at a fair price. This will make the system self-sustaining, with the machine paying its own operational costs. Discover more on bit.ly/a_desert_oasis #Rolex #RolexAwards #PerpetualPlanet

Beneath the turquoise waters of Australia’s World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Coast is one of the planet’s largest fringing coral reefs. Although highly protected and recognized for its biodiversity, many of its animals depend on a less-protected area on the other side of the cape: Exmouth Gulf. Mission Blue / Sylvia Earle Alliance Hope Spot Champion Ben Fitzpatrick has led his team on an expedition to the gulf’s unexplored waters. Using the latest technology in drones and underwater photography, they are surveying its incredibly biodiverse wildlife and proving how important the area is to the region and to the nearby Ningaloo Reef.
