A collection for Arctic fox conservation.
Melrakki is the Icelandic name of the Arctic fox, the only native terrestrial mammal surviving in Iceland since the last glaciation. On top of facing global warming, growing human use of their territory and pollution of their food sources (ocean and seabirds), the foxes are still considered pests by law and heavily hunted across the country. 
Phil Garcia has been studying and photographing the Arctic fox for 10 years. The Melrakki collection features 15 of his best images in 1/1 edition (plus physical extras with every NFT: 40x60cm signed print and a book).
The full profits of this NFT collection will be used in actions aimed at raising people's awareness on the unsustainable fox situation. A book will be published and distributed to all schools and libraries all over the country. It's part of a global fight to push the government to reconsider the hunting of Arctic foxes and help setting up efficient conservation plans.

Melrakki, the Arctic fox

March marks the end of the mating season, which is the most critical time in the fox’s life. The dominant couples have to fight daily to keep their territory and make sure no other fox is messing with their partner. Fighting in this period of rare food is definitely very challenging and will determine the success of the next spring litter. Depending on their health level at the end of the winter, the foxes will be able to give birth to more or less cubs.

This 1/1 NFT comes with 2 physical extras: 
A 40x60cm Fine art print (signed and numbered) and a copy of the book Melrakki (to be published before end 2022)
