a humanitarian catastrophe with civilians being driven out of their homes by fierce fighting. next though our crew takes the one and exhilarating trip to russia's far east. species of animals and. cullimore reach seven thousand kilometers from moscow a group of research as has become an expedition through the nature is a. fierce one of the sea eagles enough close to a small river on the shore of the sea of a horse here not very far from here low tide compels them to go to the sea to look for food. the stella sea is listed in russia's red book of endangered animals eagles of this toy only found in russians for east each year just a company for reserve ranges inspect this in order to do so the expedition would

have to come hundreds of kilometers over the course of ten days. just you know would take elsie ashford a volunteer from scope of their accompanied by range of let me out on the journey. this is where the two rivers meet their totally different the children journey is a deep cold river with a strong current the water in the cabin is warm they even different color a challenger is greenish because of floodwaters but the kava always stays brown. still a sea eagles can afford to be free in the ski reserve they don't have to worry about food there is no pun some fish in the sea of a halt a nearby river is this still a sea eagle is the largest bird in the area. there is almost seventy centimeter

this as an adult can weigh up to knowing kilograms i can feel a branch an eagle is behind it. the boat is going to a far corner of the result of the only just expect to see chicks that they believe hatched in an eagle's nest a few days ago. the engine noise scares them. upon seeing the new arrivals he backs away and swiftly disappears into the forest the group has no worries baz really attacked people during the summer. a telescopic role is the most important always him in the expeditions inventory by attaching a video camera the only phone which is used see what's going on in the eagle's nest even though it only takes a few minutes to get to the nest but it actually comes to climbing the tree preparations take a lot longer stella's sea eagles missed the ground but i'm thinking are you sure

giving a delicate girl that much to carry is a good idea. l.c.s. foot is the first woman to ever climb a tree in the market and ski resort in the past that would take always employ the help of the men in the group on please. yes. l c is a research a the royal society for the protection of bugs in scotland but its nests have been her line of work the several years she has broken when necessary equipment from scotland because she thinks using familiar equipment in an unfamiliar place is much safer. when the mining 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 and. elsie's progress is blocked she cannot go any further this is where a video camera attached to a road comes in handy connection

a key element of the monitoring procedure is inspecting last at the start of the season with us because 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 nest that's the film is shot from different angles special care is taken not to scare away at all. otherwise they might never return to the nest and the chicks would die of starvation elsie takes a look at the footage before she's even got down from the tree a slew of chips a small white chicks are in line for me. and thing around in the sunshine finding the middle of each of the two peaks like this just like the other next sixteen small but very healthy. decades ago they were good like prison camps and. inmates used to be sent to what is now the mecca times good

nature is to procure fish and game today people are a rare sight here but to me of a gauche patrol the territory making his way along narrow trails left by. he always carries a gun with him a trespass i can easily spotted from this elevation intruders crossing the reserves boundaries as a threat. but branches lying close to the plough speak of a camp fire started by unwelcome 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 for weeks on end sometimes far as covers such a large area the firemen from all over the market and region come to help. controlling fire is especially difficult in coniferous forests it takes many years to recover from such a blaze floods are just as dangerous as fire in fairly spring transporting fuel and basic necessities it was stuff is an extreme and often life threatening toss which is more than. on one occasion snowmobiles broke down as we had to walk scores of kilometers such insolence would have made many others quit this job but 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 all a fellow just decided against inspecting other siegal nests but they don't want to waste the time 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 the. l.c.s. food began learning russian a few months before arriving in the mega time region well in the reserve each station notes than you would she hears from her russian colleagues at work it's

important if you're working too many everything because you can't remember. a few words you practice so you can use them when you need quickly. the day later and time is running out the expedition now has to move to another sector of the reserve . didn't go through the second phase of the expedition is about to begin when we'll visit the korean peninsula on the on ski ireland where the maritime sector is will see eagle nests check the bears and taxi lines for now this part of the trip is done with. our world. a three hundred kilometers from the previous campsite tugboat fashioned into an expedition vessel has entered seal. through several killer whales appeared near the

ship they seem to be out to push the ship's captain many happy returns for his sixty fifth birthday get the boat ready for a large plastic check point is on the horizon. the station on the coney peninsula is home to ranges of the maritime sector of the market and ski state nature reserve the environment is very hard to gauge bits off the companies the group of research is at this stage of the expedition with a service record of more than twenty years is one of the reserves veterans so i gave again 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 at the time the ranges are self-sufficient communities. apart 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 you'll see them. no toy doesn't come until several hours later at that time a mountain stream flowing into the sea if 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 he pool year round and falling in would be dangerous there are no signs of life in the eagles unless its owner is away hunting for food but soon it appears on the horizon. look eat all. the climate here 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. winter in scotland maybe.

you feel. the rain just take two dogs on the daily twelve kilometer patrol the dogs begin parking 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 and the reserve personnel. overrules a month or two posters carry weapons their coats have powerful engines on the stove 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 he wouldn't. as soon as the expedition ship leaves plus the station a family of humpback whales appears the captains the is the vessel along the shore of the researchers take stock of the best inhabiting the coney and into what i can

see a female bear down there and a little cub is nearby. when the bears are sported their exact location will be marked on the map while the research is conducted their work ship moves the slow speed. but with the evening the captain steps on the gas as they head for the m.c.r. islands it's crucial that the ship reached its destination while the weather is still good. very first verses of the bible to all human beings are created but sentimental came in god's image and it doesn't say just jews or god just. sixty to seventy percent of what i did as a combat soldier in the eyes of my territories was to do with the turds doing what we call making our presence felt we go out should some bozo be here and i can see

doors from the other corner of it and i doubt religion and nationalism not just judaism have been a part of the problem they've been part of what leads to. bloodshed if you want to bomb guys there and kill. a thousand four hundred people in a month and you want to expect that this will have no effect and for a fee you have to be either extremely naive or it's true mr peabody not sitting here a few religious jew calling another joe i'm not not the way they really upset him. if. it's a temper on our hero. we hear it because our country out. god promised them this is linda long stops. will if they are still going to be thinking. and culturalism people will believe

that god is real estate say look at this that is just for you guys this guy is. no no no this is no it. isn't my. cup of. coffee. four days of passes the start of the expedition the mc islands are still a long way away but the expedition has already run out of freshwater rain just sergei schmidt's off look for a spot to land the boat and see that there's the gold the sea is quite shallow off shore so again raises the engine and covers the last few meters using oars once

he's on shore he realizes that trespass is a visit to 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 you 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. potion most likely. there are no people around but there are fresh tracks on the ground left by a. sunni animal is spotted true binoculars but it pays no attention to the expedition a bit later the only full of just see another stella's siegel a short distance away meanwhile the ranger returns from his rounds of the territory he says he has found no poachers. some say the series here in the north is very monotonous but in fact it is very beautiful this is one of dan's and our springtime

flower which is listed in russia's red book common danger plants and animals and 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 have been 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 smooth to. the water is now on board and the ship spanker is raised the weather is ideal for making observations half an hour later here you know taking a eagle's nest which is not on the map but he will market his new the eagle seems

to be alone the nest is very tiny. and with a 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. game are called an old friend of his is in charge of the lighthouse. so gay lives there with his wife the cape covers an area of just over one square kilometer. you want to own. people are. not hello there hello i haven't seen you in ages how are you. this is a rare sight here the nearest settlement is sixty kilometers from cape town you

know i made some pies fresh from the up and make some tea if you wait a minute thank you my idea and the dish to make he takes care of the household chores sergey is responsible for maintaining the lighthouse he has to be a jack of all trades there is nobody to help if something goes wrong this instance is all we are proud to live here even if it means living so far away. we are like border guards. it's like living at the end of the world that's true there are rocks on one side and sea on the other there are no people around here you see nobody but beasts and even they are very tame. before dusk surrogate goes to the lighthouse there are more than two hundred time one steps in the spiral staircase. in the soviet union the lighthouse was

a strategic naval installation and was guarded accordingly a sentry was on round the clock usually at the entrance. much has changed since then but the litel still requires daily maintenance specially designed lenses enable the lights to be seen from twelve nautical miles away even though the power of the lamps is five hundred watts. i was a child when my parents brought me here in one thousand nine hundred sixty two that's when i took a fancy to this place when i grew up i brought my kids here they too have grown up here as such i'm i call my family again a city of sorts. towards evening to ship the parts for the ski arlen's. the only fellow just will meet with fellow scientists studying sealants. we're now approaching not a cute island the name destination of our trip the place is very beautiful and

interesting here to see is that a hundred meters deep ships are best to steer clear of this place during a storm or change inside there is no telling what tricks it may have in store for you. the pacific's northernmost habitats of sea lions is a matter kill island in the late ninety's scientists raise the alarm after discovering a dramatic fall in the number of these mammals. since then an international group of scientists has come to the mc arlen's each year. to begin with all the adult sea lions a shoot away from the beach then they were called the pops so as to estimate the size of a population more accurately the new bones of intact and given the number. the procedure makes it possible to track the animals movements in the sea of cortes. over roughly twenty years which is the effort of

a sea lawyer. to see what is the obviously the animals don't like being disturbed but then it's only one day during their mating season with set a particular day aside when the harm done to the sea lion population is reduced to a minimum since the procedure has been perfected down to the smallest detail to start that's administer an anaesthetic to the ceiling and pups to ensure a painless operation. but you cannot get the lions breathed in a special gas for about three minutes he falls asleep and wake steps in ten minutes later doesn't take long to recover from the anaesthetic. few. we can i am going to take some blood samples if the seizures the blood test will tell us something about the state can you weren't health to see if they're healthy enough that's all right dear they have a chance the job involves

a good deal of physical labor and unfortunately the team is short handed this year . the expedition is grateful to the ashford for help as the talk is not easy a one week old sea lawyer weighs in the average of twenty seven kilograms space specialist at sixty two i think it's that it's quite nice to me because. i can just help carry. so i can be useful and it helps getting what likely. as biologists labelled the sea lion pups the adults in the water the scientists need to make haste to finish the job as soon as they can this year the expedition has brought together researchers from japan russia and the united states they have to solve the language barrier as they can. really important for us to work us in an american colleagues and russian colleagues still receive lines don't look at the border and say oh stop those america over there and russia over here

they swim across the border quite frequently so we have to work on proper ration to better understand how the nature that goes across the borders is doing whether they're doing well or not what we need to do to manage them. in early spring sealants come to the beach much kill island over the ice males in the first two or roy they have to fight for a place on the beach. this ruling sound means the sea lion has laid claim to the area. where the people have been working with such animals for more than twenty years but i'm still in the days that their behavior sea lions on shore behave very differently at sea. but given your should do what we like when they're on the beach they're agile like birds but at sea they get very inquisitive they approached divers in stick with them for some time but they frighten such an especially if they're wearing shiny objects by sea lions attacking humans no no that has never

happened with the. the scientists label two hundred c. law and props each of the animals now has difficulty recording their weight and individual characteristics. after a day or two it will be as humans were never here as sea lions will return to their daily routine lying around on the beach going to sea in search of food and they're seeing their pups. after the departure of their colleagues the following morning the only. state nature reserve was you watching in the daytime these colonies of to kill island. even people shouting at the top of the voices can hardly be fewer than four and a half million have a magical island even though it's only six square kilometers they are few and far between in the south because the wind is a strong cliffs it's the central part of the truck's most trust.

there's a difference between nothing how it will look for example occupy narrow cliff cornices. made their nest among rocks this means that there are no free plots of land and the birds occupy the entire island that. you just would like to spend move toward and research. is a very well placed to get to a previous expedition into haiti. and that. results this time but was on the side of the scientists everybody works together and it's not it's not practical it's not like. historic sea voyage where you have no war for its many health problems i see even more than i expected because i've been very lucky to be here at a time when there are many different interesting projects. the ship leaves met

a few island during low tide just before dusk in the mess room he asked for it learns how to cook traditional russian borscht. goods potatoes on the boil for ten minutes then add it's interesting to. the expedition members alone the last night before the ship it is obvious that everyone is tired but everyone is reflecting on the vivid impressions of the trick even those that have been here before the captain says jokingly that next time elsie ashford will combine both jobs as research and a cook meanwhile a captain's mate sets a course back to make it a humpback whale again appears on the horizon just like during the voyage to the empty islands the expedition to the maggot and ski nature reserve is nearing its end it has covered more than a thousand kilometers in ten days and collected a wealth of material for the study. the team's mission is complete.
