of the worst is the region's administrative center homes more than half a million people and a place that really sparkles and some of. the locals come out in force to enjoy the city's wide some picturesque whereas and down by the river saw it there are plenty of places to work on your town. and for the nature. very close to a botanical. now apparently this is one of two places in the whole of russia where his flowers bloom in the wilds now in eastern tradition the opening of the lotus flower petals to signify the expansion of the soul so i'm hoping that my trip is going to be an eye opener as well and i was going to start my journey down on the river bank just over one hundred fifty years ago was built alongside the river it links russia with china and. it's a great way to see the city and. constantine is

a lifelong sailor in residence and he'd offered to take me out on his yacht. my wife of course. helping out. trains young sailors and we had a couple of the ship nights for the riots so it's not just. a serious race. so hopefully we'll go. it wasn't long before we were doing it. and as the guys fixed up the rigging i took the rudder. actually this is pretty easy and perfect weather beautiful calm water and great day just be messing around in boats this is the eleventh longest river in the world but we were heading out to fall just enough to enjoy the water and get some great news. but that's not the best way to get snow this river by car because one that said. it

was trying to head back to dry land and for me to really start discovering the bars . you want to point 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. 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 journey spotting time. and 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. it's time to

really get into the swing of things. this is a way to live out the possibility of just gave you this place just a right. it's a problem for recent russian. kids to carry on the party and headed down to meet nicholai ruben the museum's director who offered to give me a personal tour and he has his own theory on why the beatles ecosystem is so diverse. legend has it that when god was creating the world he planted the tiger and the 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 liana's to grapes and the same can be said about our fauna. this collection of local wildlife is a very popular exhibits and it includes one of the most famous and rare animals in russia poaches one of the main reasons why be

a more 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 doesn't. kloof wildlife sanctuary is about an hour's drive from the city limits refuge for injured or anonymous from the local region. to world. its role owned by edward krugel who's been taking in lost souls for the best part of twenty years and he 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. everyone has looked after more than two hundred beds over the years and despite a lack of funds most of your fence avoid being separated from their mothers these babies are only just a few months old they were rescued when brought here because the bigger beza very

popular for hunters trophies for use in china as well so it's very close. and these are the unfortunate ones who are left behind but as you can see for about five months old. the world. of the zoos most famous resident is considerably bigger. one of the rarest cats left on the entire planet and. twenty years old and still. coming to say. i'm so tempted to try and. he's got to. luther was born here was a baby in the early nineties and he's been here ever since he's the sanctuary's only permanent residence and despite being positively ancient for

a tiger there's still plenty of life in him. beyond the biggest cats on the planet and way more than three hundred kilos but the numbers are under serious threat and it's estimated there are only around four hundred fifty left in russia's wilderness . mourners doing his best to improve their 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 hares and the forests around here would be tigers natural prey and there are a few large a dog it's wandering around here to hear also some rather i'm willing students of tiger school his two little bear as well. very useful when your

learning how to hunt. fortunately for bugs. there are no one is in residence at the moment so if the law continues to hold the running away from the a few curious tourists. there are vital parts of making sure we can contain the forests region. back in the city has been invited to see a different sort of conservation projects involving four wheels rather than four legs 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 have 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 bins in to automobiles. back out. but it's not just the direct zero is passionate about it's got one of the largest collections of models in eastern russia and i think that's very true cars of all makes including those that were made in the one nine hundred thirty s. here you see four maids and military vehicles and one of those military mobiles was waiting for us in the carriage downstairs. 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 almost. c runs the magic touch. one of the most. a real russian classic.
9:41 am
ok. let's get this work. and. build post truck drives again. but trucks are just the tip of the iceberg. and it's always restoring the most ninety classic russian and foreign coals some of the success stories saw it. from vintage folders to ukrainian beatles most of these cause only see the launch of dale national holidays and special festivals but i was going to get a chance take a listen to it specials the first bit. where i mean one of these things would lead you to be very strong come down turn because this is going to be the one this theory. but i can tell. you most of them

to hit the gym so keep it under control but only one of these big powerful vulgus 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 lucky. this may be the best police cut ever invented. the. careful formerly people were smart oh. ok. so i figured out the gearbox of this tiny. it was a lot easier to drive over one hundred what seemed an impression it would have made of guys. you know sure envy fifties russian police but. we have the world's smallest. possibly funniest car with which to catch criminals i'm not sure if it would be a good day i know because either they just sort of stop and pull out a lot of things that you were trying to catch on in this all they'd run to cross

a place in the bars where you really can come and burn some russia russia but your aim is to drive carefully first to circle as you hear me run it primarily concerns you know what he has been involved with racing for twenty five years and now runs the stream a cussing club which takes part in competitions all over the russian far east he's already trained several local champions including his son misha who offered to show me the ropes assuming i could physically carve cool stuff. my buds too big for the. james sent up a little bit but. this is a visit next to getting into a go cart but after a handy push. pull some young students but this is a school that takes dedication and money most of the cost of italian chef season japanese engines they call simple dollars they can.
9:48 am
place a regular move into a. serious adrenaline rush. are you ok. i'll tell you that is awesome but is a little bit difficult when you're eating. dust here. it was time to take things a little easier and i went off to find a man with a rather more sedate hobby. looks like these guys over here have gone 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. 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. fit together perfectly can make the.

planks have been playing down the old sounding board to be removed. from the second week. sorting through your kit so. he could play. what you see destroying a guitar but looking at dean's other instruments the results would be well worth it . and also because of the old bulls i went to work on one of his handmade sense pieces. and fortunately putting everything together can take up some of the team wanted to show me exactly one of his creations how to will. never get an old dog and a couple of friends. i don't even see one conservation sense and maybe
9:50 am
a bar of soap but it's not just land mammals that are getting a helping hands here. around fifteen years ago there were hundreds of tons of sturgeon and kalugin in the animal river but the fish is now critically endangered they can be or is a valuable delicacy and poaching and overfishing have seen their numbers decline to such an extent that only two i don't specimens were documented to have been cool in this area in two thousand and nine is a situation of the dilemma as the fish farm is trying to change the team in his work as a breeding young imo sturgeon and kaluga are in captivity and then returning them to the walls so this is where they keep the food for the fish it looks like particularly lovely stuff. combination all insects alone the way. it would flow in the and some tiny stations are really very delicious were young so that it. doesn't go over. the fish in these tanks are only a few bones old but
9:51 am
a full grown kaluga can live as long as a human so it's. very easy facing boy about two thousand of these babies been in here you can see the pretty lively. now there anyway about thirty to forty grams of plants the perfect sowing is to give them the real schulze of survival in the rhythm of the organ probably safely say that this may be the only thought in my life i'm ever going to see a fish back you see that this is what is transposing our kaluga at all stages into the fact that we can then release it into the river later. it's like a quick death it leaves a means we've reached our quota it's time to drive i'm still. so i'm writing style here because we're just about to head off to the river and hopefully give the space a new lease of life releasing hundreds of leaves of water at once can be a bit tricky though and we have to do a little with the side rescue work. so this is the so slow i have
9:52 am
to think of baby's first very soon we'll be taking them out on to the boat. then i will find the right spot in the river so they can be given. 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 animal 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 and a few hundred kilos in weight and hopefully we've given him the best chance of making it because of the size hopefully he'll survive for amazing good luck. he 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.
9:53 am
syria has been the 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 around twelve thousand and nine 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 and dance but it does take course if i'm going to. hopefully we will actually need this but just in case it doesn't rain. he said be able to keep. everything nice and dry so this goes off without a hitch. everyone pitches in to help from the more mature to the very.

top what's your name you know james i'm not. overly friendly here which is nice. this kind of then gets everyone excited and they don't hold back on the entertainment. today we're going to feed the spirit of fine. this spirit is the master of finance his name is pajama but don't like to have true that. will have a too much perception where we're going to feed the spirits of water. today and there will also be a drag of the dragons estancia have been burridge from the chinese but it's not true that they're an ancient part of all culture to. write this. is going to be one of the big sins pieces of tonight's bossy.
9:55 am
serial can ring it up so it doesn't fall down everything really see how the nominee celebrate the culture. as soon as we finish people start to arrive. and watch a game of charcot which looks like a particularly dangerous blend of fully gaining the cross. and then it was time for don't see the drug. war the festival is really all about so much for the next generation oh no need to get together and practice the citizens of their ancestors have been carrying on for centuries it's a village celebration and i knew everyone in the community to get together and really celebrate their culture the worst may be a long way from moscow but it's worth the effort to get here this outpost of russia
