russia approaches one of the main reasons why we are more target here is so terribly endangered are there is a place not too far from a bar which is doing its bit trying make sure the species doesn't. preclude tree is about an hour's drive from the city and its refuge for injured. from the local region has. its role owned by edward krugel of who's been taking in lost souls for the best part of twenty years if you 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 yall since avoid being separated from their mothers these babies are only just a few months old they were rescued in winter. because i think of as

use for when you're learning how to hunt. fortunately for bugs there are no while tigers in residence at the moment so if the law continues to hold the running away from will be a few curious tourists. but they're a point of making sure become a target contain the force of the region. back in the city hundred 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 and the old mind of folks because this is where people in have come to take their driving tests but the ministry of
5:40 am
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 on the letters. but it's not just the direct anatoly nazir of is passionate about he's got one of the largest collections of models in eastern russia i think that's 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 downstairs. this old truck delivered letters during the second world war and the mechanics have been trying to get it back on the road but i think this one is almost almost. see. the magic touch.

gym succeeded 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 cops weren't quite so lucky. this may be the best police car ever invented. to careful formerly people were smart oh. well next one ok. to give them a good box of this time you must it was a lot easier to drive one would have not seen the impression it would have made a. fifty's russian police but. you have the smallest and possibly funniest car with which to cast criminals i'm not sure if it would be
5:43 am
a good pay off because either they'd just sort of stop and follow the law thing that you were trying to catch them in this poll they'd run too fast because they wouldn't want to be seen dead. i decided that if i didn't want to permanently back a couple of circuits in my mini muscle between have to suffice but that wasn't going to be my last job on the bench.

what he has been involved with racing for twenty five years and then 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 can fit in a car of course. oh but three big for because that's just embarrassing james set up a little bit but there. it is there's a knack to getting into a go cart but after a handy push tools or a. couple has some young students but this is a school that takes dedication and money mostly because of italian chef season japanese engines because simple dollars they can raise. prices regularly move into. serious adrenaline rush. are you
5:48 am
ok. i'll tell you what that is all some fun 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. 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 even uses reclaimed pieces to repair and refurbish musical instruments and we were going to give an old 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 to make the front of. the planks have been playing down the old sounding board has to be removed. the

second week. sorting through. the blade it's. q.c. destroying it's all but looking inverted eams other instruments the results will be well worth. and also because i'll be old boards i went to work on one of his hand made sense pieces. unfortunately putting everything together and snake up to the team wanted to show me exactly one of his creations how to wolf. never thought that an old couple with friends. i don't even to see one conservation since i'm in a bar of six but it's not just land mammals that are getting a helping hand 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 a cameo 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 cooled in this area in two thousand and nine. is a situation of the demons the fish mom is trying to change let him in his work as a breeding young imo sturgeon include her in captivity and then returning them so the walls so this is be all they keep the food from the fish loose like particularly lovely stuff. combination of insects alone. wolf. and some tiny persuasions i mean very delicious we understood. but doesn't. 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 it. is easy facing boy about two
5:51 am
thousand of these babies version in here you can see the pretty lively. now there anywhere about thirty to forty grams the past the perfect signs to give in a real sharp sense of all of the rhythm 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 this is what is transporting our kaluga at all stages into the fact that we can then release it into the river later. it's like a quick journey at least a month we've reached all closer it was time to drive into the water so i'm riding in style here as we're just about to head off to the river and hopefully give these fish a new lease of life releasing hundreds of liters of water at once can be a bit tricky and we have to do a little riverside rescue work. so this is these sorts lloyd to think of it is fish very soon we'll be taking them out on to the boats. and hope
5:52 am
we 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 shots 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 a few hundred kilos in weight and hopefully we've given him the best chance of making it because of this 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 the bar of school i was going to meet some people whose ancestors had lived this way for millennia.

syria has been home to the indigenous nano which in their language means people with thousands of years by the sounds of it. i think there is some kind of a still. there around twelve thousand and nine living in russia and the largest of the indigenous tribes it's widespread community but every year people come back for a summer party or music condones but it does take quite a bit of. 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 of the what's your name you know james i'm not there. so it's not.
5:54 am
over friendly which is nice. this kind of gets everyone excited and they don't hold back only its limits. they were not granted today we're going to feed the spirit of fun i began. this spirit is the master of finance his name is pajama but like after that. we'll have it so much perception where we're going to feed the spirit of water. today there will also be a dragon the dragons has had to have been borat from the chinese but it's not true there in ancient culture to. this. is going to be one of the big sins of pieces of to know it's. cereal can bring it up so it doesn't fall down everything really see. celebrate the

culture. as soon as we finished people started to arrive. 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 oh no need to get together and practice those traditions 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. burbs may be a long way from us but it's worth the effort to get here because outpost of russia's far east has a rich history and a community that cares about this city and the future of its environment.
