foot is the first woman to ever climb a tree in the back of that ski resort in the past taken who is employed to help the men in the group. yes. elsie is a researcher at the royal society for the protection of bugs in scotland but nests have been her line of work the several years she has brought all the necessary equipment from scotland because she thinks using familiar equipment in an unfamiliar place is much safer. than the climbing this tree is no easy job and it will take elsie at least forty minutes to get to the nest especially if she observes all of the safety rules are going to. elsie's progress is blocked she can't go any further this is where a video camera attached to a road comes in handy connection it up
2:35 am
a key element of the monitoring procedure is inspecting us at the start of the season with us when we need to know how many chips that hatched and how many have survived to the end of the season and then if they're mature enough to leave their nasty events the film is shot from different tables special care is taken not to scare away at all. otherwise they might never return to the nest and the chicks will die of starvation elsie takes a look at the footage before she's even got down from the tree place full of chicks a small white chicks crying and i find. nothing around in the sunshine fighting them for the chop to bake so i could just like you know the next so too small of a very healthy chick. decades ago they were good like prison camps and. inmates used to be sent to what is now the nature reserve to procure

fish and game today people are a rare sight here let me out of a gauche patrol the territory making his way along narrow trails left by as he always carries a gun with him a trespasser can easily spotted from this elevation intruders crossing the reserves by a breeze as a threat. but branches lying close to the pole speak of a campfire. welcome guests or this is what is left of a branch that got caught in a fire even though more than thirty years of past i still shudder when i think back to that inferno. this with this way of getting to any part of the reserve in an emergency is by helicopter. when a fire flares up the helicopters will have to make dozens of trips a day but even that does little to help. the tiger may remain

a blaze two weeks on end. sometimes far as covers such a large area the foreman from all over the market and region come to help. controlling fire is especially difficult in can differ as forests it takes many years to recover from such a place floods are just as dangerous as fire into early spring transporting fuel and basic necessities to preserve stuff is an extreme and often life threatening toss which is more than. on one occasion snowmobiles broke down and we had to walk scores of kilometers such incidents would have made many others quit this job something keeps us going i think it gives us adrenaline i'm happy it's part of my life. it's a challenge that keeps you in good shape. the following morning the weather changes abruptly it is clear from the full cost of the rain will keep coming down for

almost a week we all have fallen just decided against inspecting of a sea eagle nests but they want to waste that toy so they begin looking through the video they filmed the day before. i would like to take a closer look at what you filmed i couldn't see it clearly in the sunlight. well i didn't expect to see that the chicks i saw were older and they behaved in a very different way. now this this is the first time i've seen chicks fighting all the time they're behaving naturally as they should it's not like they saw you with your camera it was hidden after all. l.c.s. for began learning russian a few months before arriving in the market and region while in the reserve each day she notes than you would she hears from her russian colleagues at work it's important if you're working that you don't learn q many everything because you

fifth birthday get the ball ready for a large plus a check point is on the horizon. the station on the coney peninsula is home to ranges of the merits of the market and ski state nature reserve the environment is very harsh so gauge beds off the companies the group of research is at this stage of the expedition with a service record of more than twenty years he's one of the reserves veterans sergei began his career as a rank and file employee now he is in charge of the ranges guarding the reserves maritime sector they are on duty for about a month for the time the rangers are a self-sufficient community. a call from guarding the territory they keep records of the natural environment was the situation no money nothing to speak of little said you know intruders apart from some little animals. and what about the stellar

siegel's a couple who come from there during low tide will see them. no toy doesn't come until several hours later at that time a mountain stream flowing into the sea of a halt can be crossed normally the title current is so strong that it is impossible to keep one's balance the water is always here all year round and falling in would be dangerous there are no signs of life in the eagles and this its owner is away comes in for food but soon it appears on the horizon. look evil. the climate here as it was completely different to the previous location even in the height of summer the weather poses a challenge it's a little bit cold. but it's not winter it's this summer so for me it's like. when sun in scotland made.
2:42 am
me feel. the rain just take two dogs on the daily twelve kilometer patrol the dogs begin barking as soon as they smell a bag they are just as indispensable when rangers look for peaches something bad is often the poachers have better equipment than the reserve personnel. overrules a month or two posters carry weapons their coats have powerful engines in the storm and on top of that lawyers provide legal protection which you're unlikely to find any eyewitnesses here a ranger would have to work very hard before the offender could be brought to trial which you want and. as soon as the expedition ship leaves plus the station a family of humpback whales appears the captain still is the vessel along the shore as the researchers take stock of the best inhabiting the twenty pin into what i can
2:43 am
see a female bay or down there and a little compass nearby. when the bears a spotted their exact location will be mocked on the map while the researches conduct their work the ship moves the slow speed. but would evening the captain steps on the gas as they head for the ski arlen's it's crucial that the ship reached its destination while the weather is still good.

four days of paul says the stuff of the expedition. still a long way away but the expedition has already run out of fresh water rain just say gasquet soft looks for a spot to land the boat and see that there's the eagle. the sea is quite shallow off shore sergey raises the altitude engine and covers the last few meters using oars once he is on shore he realizes the trespassers visited the protected area only recently. well this water canister tells me they left the place only a short time ago. and there came later with it it's clear it's been a good deal of time here sharpening its claws i'm quite sure the guys wasted no time either. persian most likely. there are no people around but there are fresh tracks on the ground left by a pair soon the animal is spotted true binoculars but he pays no attention to the

expedition a bit later the only follow just see another stella siegel a short distance away meanwhile the ranger returns from his rounds of the territory he says he has failed no poachers. for some say the series here in the north is very monotonous but in fact it is very beautiful this is really dander in our springtime flower which is listed in russia's red book i'm in danger plants and animals this one began to bloom just a few days ago. when the rising tide comes they will need to collect some two hundred liters of fresh water this supply should last until the end of the trip many of the expedition participants are in suffering from dehydration this is the only chance to replenish the water supply for as long as the ship remains at sea. this water is absolutely fresh because it comes here from the snow fields the water is cold but it's pure completely clean and very good for drinking and it's moved to
2:47 am
. the water is now on board and the ships tanker is raised the weather is ideal for making observations half an hour later you know taken eagle's nest which is not on the map he will market his new eagle seems to be alone the nest is very tiny. the weather rapidly deteriorates and the birds head to the rocks watching them becomes impossible moreover the fog makes sailing in these conditions dangerous so the ship comes to a halt. ranges of gets into a motorboat to head for cape cod game are called an old friend of his is in charge of a lighthouse. so gay lives there with his wife the cape covers an area of just over one square kilometer. like us you want to own.
