having begun to build cities and industrial enterprises, man one day intervened in nature and... in order to monitor how dynamically the situation is changing, environmental institutions like ours are needed. the ecosystem is designed in such a way that a violation of one of its components will inevitably lead to changes in all the others. and if the conservationist does not pay due attention to leaving everything to chance, then we risk facing environmental problems, to the point that many species that are now widespread in our country may be endangered. disappearance. my name is mikhail pasmartsev, i am the head of the scientific department of the pripyatsky national park. our mission is to preserve nature as it was before intervention person.

pripyassky national park is a specially protected natural area, the heart of which is the pripyat river. the area of ​​the national park is about 89. of this area, about 70% is occupied by forests, and the other part of the territory is represented by swamps, wetland vegetation and also areas of floodplain oxbow lakes. about a third of the national park, namely the 31. protected area, in these territories any economic activity, any type of logging, as well as visits by tourists unaccompanied by employees of the national park are prohibited park, all this leads to the fact that in these territories nature is preserved as much as possible in the form in which it was thousands of years ago. 45 species

of mammals live on the territory of pripyatsky, seven of them are listed in the red book, these are such well-known species as the bison, lynx, warsuk, three species of dormouse, as well as the european mink. in addition, the territory of the floodplain meadows of the pripyat floodplain is home to many species of migratory birds, some of which fly tens of thousands of kilometers away. pripetski national park is famous for its swamps, floodplain forests, primarily dubravami. some trees are up to 600 years old. the national park is located in the south of belarus, gomel region, it occupies the territory of mozyr, petrikovsky, lelchesky and zhidkovychi. districts, the administrative center of the national park is the agro-goroduklyaskovichi and gomlen region, there are two comfortable tourist complexes, the hotel above pripyat and the daroshevichi hotel, an open -air museum, a nature museum, and a safari park.

lyaskovichi is a modern cozy an agricultural town, this is where tourists can take a ride on the pripyat river on high-speed boats and a comfortable motor ship. this is where it begins. most of all excursion routes, now we are on the territory of an open-air museum, this museum is an area with a huge number of historical exhibits, there is a museum of wickerwork, pottery, fishing, hunting, there is a watchtower, just like built by ancient belarusians. museum exhibits collected from surrounding villages show how resourceful, hardworking and patient the paleshuks were. and how they carefully used the natural resources that mother pripyat gave them. pripyat is certainly the mother and nurse for the paleshuks. and hunting and fishing using boats like these, traditional chevns, are ancient folk and a very important trade for local residents. this boat, it is more than

4 m long, was made from a single piece of oak completely by hand using these very simple technologies, it was given such form from. all the wood inside was removed and it was ready for travel, including crossing the river, and not only empty, but also with prey. with its spills it ensured the fall. floodplain meadows became food for many farm animals. and this is ostroga - a traditional tool for fishing among the polishuks. in the evening and at night, when the fish begins to actively move and hunt, the paleshuks on these traditional... chevnas went out onto the river using this instrument they caught fish by spearing them in this way.

pripyat is connected by a canal. several years ago it underwent a large-scale reconstruction. a lot of effort went into it. and now it is an object of navigation not only for boats, but also for tourist ships. along with the canal , the embankment was restored. now she is a favorite. a place for vacationers to walk, everyone can take binoculars from tourists, we have such an opportunity, here from above, to observe the surroundings, from here you can see birds and animals all beauty.

the pripyat national park runs for about 70 km, these territories are famous for their biological diversity, fishermen from all over belarus come here for their catch, the most beautiful landscapes open from the river. national park, from here you can get to the most inaccessible places, which often do not even have a mobile network; fish species such as catfish, pike, pike perch, carp, asp, and silver carp dine here. some catfish reach a weight of up to 100 kg. this we have a trophy today, that’s what we call beauty, he’s already got such stripes, here’s a fish for you today. on your ear. fishing is a traditional activity of local residents, which has fed them for a long time

and helped them survive. today, people from all over the country come to visit the fishing grounds of the national park. you can come fishing either with your own boat or rent a boat. and if someone decided to go fishing at the last moment, then you can even rent a fishing rod in the national park. ivanovich, good evening. well, like a catch, how are things today? already from the very name of the pripyatsky national park one can understand that the heart of the national park is the pripyat river. our national park, it is unlike other national parks, in that it is the river here that is the main key, environmental protection, with such

a heart, in fact, the river is like a mother, it is like the key of life, which every spring for everyone nearby territories open up, so all these adjacent landscapes, all these protected oak groves, all these ancient forests, they grew here precisely thanks to the action of the prikas river, the banks of the river are quite different, the right bank is represented by... a floodplain, while the left bank, in places 10-12 m higher than the right, was created by ancient water-glacial deposits, precisely because the right bank of the pripyat river is quite low, rising only 2-3 m; the pripyat river often floods areas up to 30 km. if you are careful enough while traveling along the pripyat river, then on the trees located near the water itself you can clearly see marks of how much the water rose in the spring. flood in the past. and this year, we are located near pomennoye lake, here

you can see that this place is very popular with artiodactyls, it is deer that come here to drink, and if you look around, you can clearly see that here is the narrowing of this small river channel, this is where they it’s most convenient to cross to the other side, but even sooner they come from there to here, because there is a huge mass of changing flood meadows, they begin in the spring... from march, when the last snow has already melted, everything is flooded, so here, where we are, and even here above, everything is under water, the period of spring floods from mid-march... to early may, tourists have a unique opportunity to visit the so-called herodoto sea. by boat or kayak, tourists can swim into an array of centuries-old oak forests, whose age often exceeds 300 years and whose diameter is more than a meter. in essence, a person finds himself in the forest on a boat, where he is on dry land most of the year. here, as you can see, that same animal trail goes straight, this was their transition, and

directly there, to these aspics meadows, they go, because in the spring the river, when it floods with... therefore, the grass here is very abundant, not only the local residents harvested it, but also, as you can see, almost the majority of all ungulates, they move here, this grass is used in food, and these territories are also famous for the fact that fish do not spawn here, in the spring, when the flood is at its peak, all these territories are filled with water, it is here that... it is convenient for them to leave eggs on blades of grass and here to leave their offspring and even in antiquity in places, specifically villages, which they were adjacent to the water, during the spawning period they did not even ring bells in churches, it was such a sacred custom, because fish had always been the main trade and food for the local residents. the powerful current of the river during

the spring flood does a tremendous job, sometimes changing the landscape beyond recognition. often carrying giant trees across the water, already at the end of spring, when the water level has dropped and stabilized, trees and fragments of branches can be found in the most unexpected places, of course, this creates a threat to navigation, so this is carefully monitored by special services that clean the beds of the pripyat river from cramps, as well as trees hanging over the water surface. the river has always been a breadwinner for local residents, and even now it remains. expensive, as you can see, they are transporting a barge, crushed stone on it, sand, cement often, these barges float here, because it is by water that it is most convenient and cheapest to transport such large loads, the pripyat river sets the tone for the life of all biological diversity, and if during the spring she serves the flood a place where many species of fish spawn, then when

the water drops, changing meadows are exposed in which many rare birds build their homes. and some species of birds even make houses along the banks of rivers. now we are in the place where shore swallows live, you can see that on the right side there is their colony, they live about 1,500 individuals together, every year these hardworking birds have to build their nests anew, because every spring the water level rises, all they new nests have been built, now they are they fly cheerfully and lively over the water, they have dinner, they catch small insects. the pripyat river is not as fast as mountain rivers, but it has a fairly powerful current, so you can swim in it only in specially equipped places. experienced fishermen skillfully use the current and know in which places the concentration of fish will be maximum. well, are we lucky today? in principle, we already have dinner

for today, i had to. fight with her a little, well, of course, we’ll let her out, let her, so to speak, splash around with her family waters, she still feels fine, she will swim further, so well, the pike is on its way, i hope the pike will fulfill all our wishes, and we want it to grow big and big and not get to anyone, tourists are allowed to stay only in specially equipped places. after all, many territories adjacent to the pripyat river belong to a protected area, visiting which is permitted only when accompanied by a national park employee. the territory of the protected area is mostly represented by raised and transitional swamps, many of which have not been even reclamation, because back in the 20th century the main

goal of creating a reserve was to preserve wetlands. this stone, together with this oak tree, are real historical monuments; it was here in 1995, in july, that the head of state made the decision to develop the pripyat polesye and create the pripyat national park on this territory, having assessed the natural complexes and recreational economic potential of this territory. visits to the protected area of ​​the national park are carefully regulated and monitored recreational load. the existence of a protected area is necessary so that... processes of natural restoration of the preservation of unique natural complexes can take place there. the workers of the national park in no way interfere with the natural processes occurring in the territory... even fallen trees are not removed from the protected area, because they serve as a home for flora and fauna. when you float along the river and see these beauties, you are filled with

inner peace and tranquility , you understand that man is a part of nature. from the agricultural town of lyaskovichi the path to the famous safari park begins. it is a closed area where many species of animals live in their natural habitat. there is a tourist route along the territory of the safari park, along which you can observe the life of animals, such as deer, roe deer. fallow deer, hare, mouflon, as well as wild boars. and here is our first stop, right at the entrance to the park, you can see that a herd of cute

young deer is presented. as you can see, for during the winter and spring periods, they have already grown quite large horns, they treat us very peacefully, as you can see, they do not run away anywhere. the thing is that the national park employees carefully monitor their health, feed them, vaccinate them, and that’s all they do. wonderful! on the territory of the safari park there is a whole network of feeding areas where animals are fed and cared for. animals are accustomed to humans and often allow them to come within a distance of even 2 m. tourists can see whole herds of wild ungulates, watch how they care for their offspring, feed , play. from this building, which... called an observation house, the feeding area is monitored, the information that can be obtained in this way is very convenient for scientists who specially come here to closely

observe the animals feeding here, from such a short distance, especially with the help of instruments that allow magnification images, you can carefully see the behavior and coloring features, and also the health status of the animals. national park specialists clearly regulate the volume and diet of safari park animals so that they do not lose their instincts and can exist unhindered in the wild. not so long ago, one can judge by external signs that there was a wild boar here. these rotten stumps are one of their favorite places. as you can see, there are a huge number of ants here, of all kinds. during periods when they have a very large amount of food, and, however, not the whole year, wild boar these are the places he periodically visits ; he eats wonderfully here; the animals

of the safari park are also under constant control of the veterinary service, which carries out a complex of all necessary measures. the yegerel forest protection service provides protection to the natural complexes of the national park, primarily from illegal logging, illegal hunting and... fire. often, when patrolling the territory by the national park services, rare plants or bird nests are found. subsequently, this information goes to the scientific department, we we promptly go to the place and already make a decision about whether this is really the nest of a rare bird, for example, a black stork, listed in the red book. or the place where some plant listed in the red book grows. installing camera traps on the territory of the national park allows not only

to prevent violations of the environmental regime, but also to talk about the number of certain animal species, many of which are protected. monitoring the number of animals is necessary primarily in order to talk about certain trends, main species under control. there is an increasing trend, so the population of lynx and bison is steadily increasing. our national park is a huge open-air wildlife museum, and you never know what kind of bird or animal you might encounter when you go out for a walk. i head the scientific department of the pripyatsky national park, my main responsibilities are tasks. the scientific department is to support the processes of scientific activity; we work in collaboration with specialists from other scientific institutions

of the republic of belarus. we are now a group of scientists from the academy of sciences, specialists in tereofauna are heading to the places of beaver settlement to collect observational biomaterials, then what is the dynamics of their numbers, and in what condition are their houses. our territory is a kind of springboard for specialists from the academy of sciences and other scientific institutions. they make field expeditions to us and with the help of our information and also collect their own, in the future. make certain scientific works and some conclusions about certain trends in changes in our nature. our the project we are working on is to compare populations that live in the chernobyl zone and in a relatively clean one. here is the petrikovsky district, where we are now, it is relatively clean, because there was no spot of pollution here, very little, and we make comparisons, we do it on fish, we do it on small mammals, we do it on different ones. ..

the pripyat river has quite large tributaries. rivers such as stviga and ubort pass through the territory of the national park and are of particular interest, as well as more small tributaries, such as the pig breeder and skripitsa, because it is on them, due to the fact that the current is not so fast, that you can often see the huge construction of beaver huts. here is a typical example, a beaver’s hut; the animal is quite dynamic in the water, but

is on dry land. of course, it’s more difficult to move, so first of all, for the purposes of protection , he erects this kind of structure, the minks, as we have already seen, they are along the banks of rivers, he digs in the walls, on top he covers them with such branches, dead wood, so as not to be such a tasty prey for a wolf, consisting of the scientific department also has a qualified ornithologist, he... observes the life of birds, analyzes their movements and can talk about certain data on seasonal migrations. ringing, it gives answers to many questions, the first simple question is where our birds fly, where they winter, where they fly next, this is the first thing we wanted to know, and well, this is what lies on the surface, in currently, for... 25 years

of operation of the station, we have somewhere over 500 birds, meetings of our birds outside belarus and well the geographic range is quite wide , from south africa, where our birds of central africa winter, to chukotka, siberia, where they fly to nest. the national park is home to 256 species of birds, 71 of which are listed as red. so the ring is put on the paw and it is closed with special pliers, that is , that’s all, there should be no gap, it moves freely on the paw, it goes back and forth, but it should not be large, so as not to jump on the joint, on this ring means the number, the number is unique, it’s like a number passport, there is no other one like it, then

the inscription is institute of zoology, minsk-belarus. it is advisable not to keep the dog for a long time after banding, it is necessary to release it into nature as quickly as possible, so it sits on your hand and flies away. there are only four national parks in the republic of belarus, i was not lucky enough to work as a specialist in one of them, so this is a rather rare and pleasant chance to touch nature and...
