because the region's ministers have. a million people. in the summer. to enjoy the city's. picture. and. there are plenty of places to work. now apparently this is one of two places in the hole. in the wilds now tradition the opening of the petals of spokes to signify the expansion of the soul so i'm hoping that my trip is going to be as well and i was going to start my

journey down on the riverbank. hundred fifty years ago. it links russia with china and. it's a great way to see the city. resident and. young. and we had a. so . it wasn't long before. i took the.

river in the world we were heading out to for just enough to enjoy the water and get some great views. of the best way to get snow this river i can't think of one that said. it was trying to head back to dry land and for me to really start discovering a bomber's. if you want to find out about history there's one place that you have to visit this is the museum of regional law and it's the biggest and the most visited museum in the whole of the country's far east . one hundred eighty thousand people step into this building every year and they get to enjoy a huge collection of exhibits from live local river residents to back in time. one of the things that sets this place apart from most russian museums is that you can interact with the exhibits and today we've got some guests who come from even

further east to see what life used to be like here in the far east of russia these schoolchildren a visiting from japan and the museum store immediately have been taking part in some nineteenth century village chores and once they've checked out to us it's time to really get into the swing of things you know this this is a way to learn about the prospect of the dusty museum displays just some right. and some proper authorities and rush. the kids to carry on the party and headed down to meet me the museum's director who offered to give me a personal tour. and he has his own theory on why the region's ecosystem is so diverse. legend has it when god was creating the world he planted the tiger and tropics but when he arrived here he only had a handful of seeds to toss around but he did have a bit of everything so we have

a wide variety of plants in these parts from plane trees to grapes and the same can be said about our fauna. this collection of local wildlife is a very popular exhibits and includes one of the most famous and rare animals in russia. is one of the main reasons why the target here is so terribly endangered but there is a place not too far from a bar which is doing its bit trying make sure the species. is about an hour's drive from the city and it's a refuge for injured. from the local region. it roland. has been taking in lost souls for the best part of twenty years and who took me to meet some of the park's most recent arrivals. these are himalayan bears hopefully we'll be able to release them next spring but we need to feed them up first and. everyone has looked after more than two hundred beds over the years and

despite a lack of funds most of us and survive being separated from their mothers these babies are only just a few months old. trophies for china as well so it's very close. and of the unfortunate behind. but you can see just about five months old really pretty. well. but this is most famous resident is considerably bigger. as one of the rarest cats left on the entire planet and i'm more tiger. twenty years old. and still. coming to say. hello. quite. i'm so

tempted to try and. he's got my teeth. i was born here was a baby in the early ninety's and he's been here ever since he's the sanctuaries only permanent residence and despite being positively ancient for a tiger there's still plenty of life in him. beyond tiger is the biggest cats on the planet and can weigh more than three hundred kilos but their numbers are under serious threat and it's estimated there are only around four hundred fifty left in russia's wilderness. and one is doing his best to improve the chances he's raised and released almost a dozen young cubs but before he does they need special training. this well unfortunately the lure of the. jungle being what it is these little guys are actually used when they have wild tigers here to train them how to hunt because this would be where the has in the forests around here would be the tigers natural

prey and there are a few launch a top it's wandering around here to hear also some rather unwilling students of tiger school he's too little there as well. very useful when you're learning how to hunt. fortunately for bugs. is in residence at the moment. continues to hold the running away from will be a few curious. but there are lots of making sure the. team. back in the city has been invited to see a different sort of conservation projects involving four wheels rather than four legs. and seeing cars like this is enough to bring back

a few bad memories of frustrated instructors the old mine a fault because this is where people come to take their driving tests but the ministry of transport here isn't just concerned with getting new drivers started they're also responsible for getting some of the city's vintage automobiles. back out. but it's not just the director of his passionate about he's got one of the largest collections of models in eastern russia. very true here i've got cars of all makes including those that were made in the one nine hundred thirty s. here you see four makes and military vehicles and one of those military models was waiting for us in the carriage down. this old truck delivered letters during the second world war and the mechanics have been trying to get it back on the road. i think this one is what most most repair. c.

runs go to magic touch. one of the most. for real russian classic back and. the keys down here. post truck rides are good. but trucks are just the tip of the iceberg. restoring. some of his success story. to ukrainian. most of these. special festivals but i was going to get a chance to take a listen to the specials. for i mean one of these things.

because this is. you must have had to hit the gym to keep it under control. of these big powerful this was just a dream for most of us citizens back in the one nine hundred sixty s. . but it seems that all communist culp's weren't quite so. this may be the best police ever invented. be careful for many people. the good books of this trying to teach it was a lot easier to drive. even pushing it would have made on the bad guys.

you have the smallest. criminals i'm not sure if it would be a good thing. because either they just sort of. decided to. it's in my mini beechwood have to suffice but that wasn't going to be my last job on the bench in a box. british style. guide. book market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global

i had a chance to drive a couple of real russian classic cars and. was ready to return to my desk just yet it was time to. measure on the old rules is all well and good but sometimes you just feel a need for speed and there's a place in a bar is where you really can come. to drive carefully first to serve. in primary concerns you. been involved with racing for twenty five

years and then runs the stream. which takes part in competitions all over the russian far east he's already trained several local champions including his son who offered to show me the ropes assuming i could fit in the car of course. more birds too big for the. james sent up a little bit but. it turns out there's an act of getting into a go carts push. pull some young students but this is a sport that takes dedication and money mostly because of italian chefs seasoned japanese engines because simple. they can shift. races regular move into. serious adrenaline rush. are you

ok. i'll tell you. but it is a little bit difficult when you're eating. dust. it was time to take things a little easier and i went off to find a. date. looks like these guys over here of going in for some double glazing in one of the old buildings but. i know someone is going to be able to make good use of it all when it's alive. but the muses reclaimed pieces to repair and refurbish musical instruments and we were going to give an old good song a new lease of life. and my siberian stone pine window sill was going to become a brand new sounding board. to fit together perfectly so that we could make the front of the guitar on. the planks have been playing down the old sounding board has to be removed. sorting through.

q.c. and you destroying a guitar but looking about diem's other instruments the results would be well worth it and also we'd cut out the old boards so i went to work on one of his handmade centerpieces. unfortunately putting everything together can take up to the team wanted to show me exactly what one of his creations had to offer. never thought that an old dog and a couple of friends. i don't even to see one conservation sense in me but it's not just land mammals that are getting a helping hand here. around fifteen years ago there were hundreds of tonnes of sturgeon and kalugin in the river but the fish is now critically endangered they

can go is a valuable delicacy and poaching and overfishing have seen their numbers decline to such an extent that only two adults specimens were documented to have been cool to in this area in two thousand and nine it's a situation that the demas the fish mom is trying to change. in his work as a breeding young imo sturgeon and kaluga are in captivity and then returning them to the wilds so this is where they keep the food for the fish and loose like two lovely stuff. combination of insects alone. and some tiny crustaceans are very delicious we understood. but. the fish in these tanks are only a few months old but a full grown kaluga can live as long as a human way up to a time. as easy fishing boy about two thousand of these babies been

in here and you can see the pretty lively. now there anyway about thirty to forty grams the plants the perfect science to give in the real shops it's available in the river i think i can probably safely say that this may be the only time in my life i'm ever going to see a fish vacuum cleaner and this is what is transporting our kaluga at all stages into the fact that we can then release it into the river later. because like a quick definitely a months we'd reached our quota it was time to drop them to the water so i'm riding in style here because we're just about to head off to the river and hopefully give these fish new lease of life releasing hundreds of liters of water it can be a bit tricky and we had to do a little riverside rescue work. so this is they so slow to think of. very soon we'll be taking them out on to the boat. and hope they will find the right spot in the river so they can begin. the phones only been operating

since two thousand and eight but they plan to breed up to three million fish a year which should give the kaluga and the sturgeon a good chance of swimming in these waters in the decades to come. it's amazing to think that just a few years this little guy could be a few metres wide it's a few hundred kilos in weight and hopefully we've given him the best chance of making it because what they saw is hopefully he'll survive or amazing good luck. it really did feel that we were helping to regenerate a river that's been supporting the people of this region since time immemorial. before i left a bar of school i was going to meet some people whose ancestors had lived this way for millennia. but. area has been home to the indigenous nano which in their language means people for

thousands of years and by the sounds of it. i think they're preparing for some kind of festival. there are around twelve thousand living in russia and they're the largest of the indigenous tribes it's a widespread community but every year people come back for a summer party of music. but it does take quite a bit of organizing. hopefully we will really need this but just in case it doesn't rain. they should be able to keep everything nice and dry so the festival goes off without a hitch. everyone pitches in to help from the more mature to the very. top of what's your name you know james i'm not. so it's not. over friendly which is nice. this kind of gets everyone excited.

today we're going to feed the spirit of fine. this spirit is the master of find his name but. after that. we'll have a twenty percent where we're going to feed the spirit of water. today there will also be a dragon and the dragons just had to have been borrowed from the chinese but it's not true they're an ancient culture too. this. is going to be one of the big centerpieces of. syria. where we can really see. how the nani celebrate the culture. as soon as we've finished people started to arrive. to watch

a game of chalk which looks like a particularly dangerous splendor volleyball in the crops. and then it was time for don't think. this is what the festival is really all about so it's for the next generation of money to get together and practice those traditions that their ancestors have been carrying on for centuries it's a village celebration and i knew all the everyone in the community to get together and really celebrate their culture. may be a long way from us but it's worth the effort to get here the post of russia's far east has a rich history and a community that cares about their city and the future of its environment.

well. the latest in science and technology from around russia. we've got the future covered.

the history of this place runs through the centuries. a paradise for archaeologists. and ecological tourists. what one fateful night shots destroyed the harmony of life. how this republic got its life by. hoping dreaming and returning. to.
