more accustomed to sub-saharan africa but has adapted very easily to the harshness of the russian winter they have been known to attempt to mest economy which have never charged to humans blistering for. the peace of the great day in the sea of japan is famous among divers around the world even veteran divers are amazed by some of its inhabitants but diving is a journey and jogging is always an adventure. local divers rarely visit of the seas the waters close to home a fall more diverse harvest so much interest than lifetimes can be spent exploring . for dimitri who just diving is more than a hobby it is his livelihood his video camera hardly ever leaves his side he scrutinizes it before a plunge even

a few drops of salty sea water leaking into the protective housing could ruin the film. this holy ghost writes my first experience with a video camera sure you don't live there and since they were going totally carried away by. all my thoughts my business i'm a freak saw i'm revolves around underwater photography called woman and you get the full any dive getting a team together is of utmost importance the mystic state that at least three divers are present at any one time to the underwater. to help the other in case of an emergency the remains of a motorbike half. ball i've been wanting to do the story of so much i've literally been counting down the days you know as you move them out i was one of the first to go into the water of

this year i've been diving through four times a week. the same goes for last year are you this rate i'm going to start growing some kills the love of. these are the great day in the sea of japan most of the islands in the surrounding waters of protected areas to me trees keep on the water marbles his favorite diving spot is in the far east marine a truce. how deep is it here at five meters. ok let's get going quickly. particularly a color and shape of flora and fauna on the shores of the bay are the result of

evolution in a harsh environment it is too cold for the natives of the southern seas but too hot for the plankton and fish coming from the north. quite a few local animals have an unusual appearance to such as this alligator fish host of myths have sprung up around it fisherman believe that they have mystical powers some believe an encounter with them portends a bountiful catch others think it signals an approaching storm but in reality they are useless and harmless creatures as far as humans are concerned they're no good as food and only feed on tiny crayfish and other invertebrates they locate them with the help of a long snout. their dog every saw it is unique in its own way and. when you dive you see something in the water. but a couple of days later it might be totally different. that in this way you learn

something new every time you discover something you didn't know anything about. scientists at the far east marine nature reserve were not aware of its existence they asked him to show it to them if he ever saw it again unfortunately for dimitri it was a one off. divers can stay underwater between thirty minutes and an hour divers have to surface afterwards to have a rest and change their tactics group. there are some three hundred species of fish in the to the great barrier load they're the subject of several research institutes five hundred meters of the bays in the coastline is also part of the far east marine nature reserve the hills and thick forests of the territory of the kid there over parts nature reserve it was established in the early twentieth century after the region was subjected to deforestation the handsome

inhabitants falling prey to purchase today many of the species are thought to be on the verge of extinction for example only forty far eastern leopards remain here. sergei are amelia of works for the world wide fund for nature each spring and summer he sets up so-called camera traps on trails where leopards look for prey this practice dates back to two thousand and two if you want to catch them in the act you need to get inside the mind of a leopard you need to imagine that you are the predator then you will know the leopards ways you will know that he will choose mountain ridges and ranges they have a good view of everything around him you are in such a position he can sniff out his prey from the breeze that comes over the slopes then he will go about planning his attack. the first camera traps were equipped with regular film now digital cameras are used to

capture footage every leopard has a unique pattern of spots the markings help researches identify lappets each animal caught on film is given a name. if you need two of these cameras to get snapshots of a leopard there is because the spots on one side differ from those on the other and consequently you need to make sure that the leopard is in full view from every angle. to camera traps are lined up on both sides of the trail special care is taken to make sure they are at the same level of of ground so they knows of several instances of leopards taking a camera away therefore he uses steel wire to keep it in place. if you will we are going to identify the lovebird by most of the spots on its body. so what we are going to do is make sure that the cameras are placed at the right level. if

we were leopards on a trail we would realize that this twigs stands in our way for this way these unique shots were taken by the world wide fund the nature before camera traps were installed emigrated from their african homeland thousands of years ago since then they have learned to live in snow and become a species in their own right i think for a bushy tail and gray eyes distinguish they are more leopard from other species the first inventory of these animals was taken in one nine hundred seventy two there were some forty individuals at the time since then the situation has not improved more than fifty leopards are thought to be necessary for the survival of the species but with only forty thought to be left they continue to survive somehow.

reserve staff regularly tours of the far east marine nature reserve one of the mr allen t. know resorts with every group chiles out of the list of strict rules tourists are supposed to follow. the directions i was in when i landed it keeps us nobly i should remind you that this is a protected area it is strictly forbidden to take anything from this reserve or any other reserve for that matter even also you are not to pick up anything from the sea like this way tourists of the reserve have to take steep paths they are not supposed to leave the trail or seek detours but once they reach the top they are awarded with a spectacular sight these sculptures of the results of the wind and sea of roving the rocks over millions of years extraordinary trees have taken root here to the slime with what's it called and these japanese read fine is more commonly known as

the grave site pine pretty big this is because it's also found in south korea where it's a symbol of mourning in such trees are planted on grace there. unlike other trees if it prefers to grow on rocky coast so in many cases the roots of such trees stick out of the shale. while showing pellets island ranger igor cotton stays here in the far east marine nature reserve a small outpost for months on end. the bay near his makeshift home is an ideal place for monitoring fish. alexander marquis of each a marine biologist is a frequent visitor to the pale as islands. you hold it hold it on hold it in your tires. his diving gear travels with

him wherever he goes but his work place is the sea floor twice a day he goes underwater to study the behavior of fish in the natural environment for years michel i have befriended some of the fish for a period of time and i have regular contact with them. because some of them spawn here in mid september. sometimes a female fish sticks around here for several days. if my trucker movements to see where she spawns work and the kitties share their young. alexander needs to locate and catch several fish species to carry out d.n.a. tests the results are incorporated in a single database under an international program.

during his first dive he has enough time to catch the fish he needs for analysis for the second he will do nothing but watch as he keeps still half a meter above the sea floor. alexander will be there for as long as the oxygen in his tanks last. thing here. i work with marine life in its own environment i have to wreck contact with it much in the same way as you ologists on land a few. years here the trouble though is that i can only stay underwater for short while. this exposes me to only a few fragments of the world underwater. other aspects elude me unless i spend years studying them. so i have to put the bits and bobs of the mosaic together to try and form a complete picture. of

the three hundred fish species in the primeau ski region some one hundred and have it the southern sea and summer they migrate to the north like birds to waiting for them is a wealth of food and spawning grounds in winter the rain life in the peter the great bay is less active about one third of. head south. the close up team has been to the men. where technological breakthroughs save human lives. now on t.v. goes to the sea. for unusual ways to protect. their farming pioneers place local cuisine to the highest pitch. and where future

developments depend on the way. russia's black sea coast should close up on hartley. download the official anti application show i phone the i pod touch from the i choose amps to. launch on sea life on the. video on demand copies of mine bold colors and r.s.s. feeds now in the palm of your. question on the com culture is that so much of the taxpayers' money i mean i am a real. hero of crisis without an eurozone leaders and national governments continue to be a longer head and how to rescue a currency. eager cotton is

a ranger at the far east marine nature reserve he is famous for his knowledge of common seals since he began studying them in one nine hundred ninety six the eagle has defended a thesis and written many scientific papers on the subject he spends nearly all his time on ellis island. we're on the lookout for possible intruders along the reserves perimeter of. the closest seal nursery can be clearly seen from here it's possible to monitor the twenty four hour movement of incoming and outgoing seals in. mostly reason is the sales of the most habit scientists don't yet know how these arctic sails cope with the summer heat most of them had to other cities for feeding but they always return here the breed in the common seals of peter the great day never make with seals from other regions eager caton made this discovery after monitoring the colonies for an entire year.

now we're going to see what's happening on the can cover islands. all three of them . does where we find a seal nursery with all the mothers and seal pups. as long as there are no storm speaker cats and heads to the nearby islands almost every day. when there are no seals on the beach he connects tufts of the fur and sends them to the border patrol for genetic analysis when the mammals return he stays in the hideout taking pictures and filming from afar. they can't see me if i watch them from here so they will act in their normal non

are communicating and bathing. but i figure there are at least two hundred seals here do things quickly wish to live. this is some of eager captains footage of a new born seal another discovery made by captain is that the common seals of the can mostly region freedomland all other seals species breed on ice floats in the open sea winter researchers have spent years flying around over ice flows seeking out the local colonies as it turned out common seals give birth to their pups in secluded noakes of the of the hunting cliffs of i saw several hundred baby seals all at once it was purely by chance even though i had intended on seeing such a thing anyway. of little immigration commuting we should behave as if we're scared out of our wits a decisive these animals will. definitely don't live there in the ah if we can help it. if we live in the middle we should just steal. glocks. if

a seal comes close to you just relax and keep still i'll take pictures of you verse full face and office what you want. me to see is a diver an amateur cameraman he often goes to the cliffs and islands inhabited by common seals they are highly organized and capricious animals. filming them can be a difficult task sometimes they approach divers to bite on their flippers more often than not they play hide and seek with the seals tease the divers darting away before picture can be taken. when you look into their eyes you can see how gentle and straightforward they really are.

bullshit just like children. i mean that's reason enough to go diving. for. common seals have almost no animals in the wild the islands of peter the great bay early habited by thousands of seal hunting in the reserve is banned but even then scientists are anxious about the future of the population. must work also because they are so susceptible to any external influence that it is almost impossible to protect them for example if an oil tanker capsizes here right now we will clean the shores up believe this happens in february all the newborn seals will die obviously it is much easier to preserve the leopard as a species. alexei custody here is a biologist he is one of the few people to have an official license to catch leopards

. alexei's job is to set up special snares and measure left the tracks to determine the direction of their movements he hopes that several of the predators will end up in his traps in the autumn. we set up no more than twenty snares on two or three trails there is no point in placing more than that because we simply do not have the time. since one thousand nine hundred four such snares have been set up once every three or four years a leopard that gets caught is inspected and then set free this process is part of an international program for the protection of rare animals the loop is disguised with twigs around it arranged in such a way as to deceive a cautious animal into stepping on the snare. for the feline will always step over anything lying in its path it won't even step on such a fin little stick so i'm going to put

a small block of wood across the path in such a way that a leopard stepping over it with one paw gets the other caught in the snare. with the world. the traps a leopard is shocked with a tranquilizer dart. once asleep scientists take skin samples draw blood and collect bits of further tests. they measure its blood pressure pulse and carry out an ultrasound test before the leopard wakes up they also put a g.p.s. collar around its neck it will track its movements send real time data via satellite . after fixing a collar around its neck we release the animal back into the wild. this tells environmental organizations how much territory these animals will need for their

protection. also a collar will let us track the animals whereabouts and how they use their habitat. and this way we will know which places are more important than others we have less . that ten years of using camera traps are produced a wealth of archive footage scientists are quite familiar with the name stamped he has been caught on film on several occasions. this clip shows two leopards the unique thing about this video is that the male is in front of the female apparently paying no attention to her and the female is trailing behind she seems to be flirting with a male something that's not typical of predators of the male as well advanced in years he has earned the respect of his peers he has allowed the pick of the ladies for her part the female seems to have taken quite

a liking to the male of. the natural environment of the primeau ski region constantly surprises its explorers familiar and well documented animals act completely differently here local plans to not resemble that counterparts elsewhere guides always make a point of stressing the fact as they take tourists around the reserve. yes we do here we see a very old ash tree it's probably about eighty years old it looks quite young because of its many trunks and stocky appearance strong winds have changed the shape of the leaves formalised that according to one theory there was a tropical climate here until the last ice age the ice compelled many species of animals and plants to move here from the north as a result local plants and animals adapted to the new living conditions by changing their appearance climactic conditions changed even the pattern of the coastline the

so-called false island as one of the stops on the top is that one is busy and fifteen kilometers speed of sound links least ten hector area to the mainland. but when there are how the season downpours salty sea water floods it and this is so called from silent actually ends up as one. was. in the rain reserve was established in one nine hundred seventy two since then the underwater world that they become much richer and more diverse divers see with their own eyes. vision. i think happiness is when you're able to do something that you really love

. and of course well it has a purpose of the same time with the good and with the stuff it was all material for other people to try and show them a whole new worlds were trying to open their eyes about diving. nobody was a diver can witness a battle between crabs and their. there's. only a diver can appreciate the diversity of stuff the show and make friends with an octopus. a really productive beautiful dive with some amazing impressions as a real success i'm so happy with the results of. the sea of japan is home to an enormous range of fish. dimitri or just hopes that in the distant future he will be able to say that he has visited every single of

the goon on every island and piece of the great day but it may take him more than one lifetime as he has barely seen a fraction of the wealth this land has to offer. all
