charged to humans listing during. the peak 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 diving is a journey so he is always an adventure. local divers rarely visit to the scenes the waters close to home the fall more diverse harvest so much interest than lifetimes can be spent exploring. for dimitri who to us 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. video coming this holy ghost writes my first experience

with a video camera hearing it going. on since there have been totally carried away by it all my thoughts my business on my free saw i'm revolved around underwater photography what woman did you get the for any dive getting a team together is of utmost importance the mystic state that at least three divers a presence at any one time to be underwater. to help the other in case of an emergency the third remains in the motor like. our. i've been wanting to do the story of so much i've literally been counting down the days you know as it moves on the hour i was one of the first to go into the water. this year i've been diving trail four times a week. the same goes for last year. for you this right i'm going to start growing

some kills their love of a. piece of the great day in the sea of japan most of the islands in the surrounding waters are protected there is dmitri street on the wall to marbles his favorite diving spot is in the far east movie make sure it's. how deep is it here five meters. ok let's get going quickly. could chile 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 fishermen 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. they have every saw 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. 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 on the water between thirty minutes and then our divers have to surface afterwards to have a rest and change their tactics cool. there are some three hundred species of fish in peter the great payload they're the subject of several research institutes five hundred meters the bays in the coastline is also part of a far east marine reserve the hills in the thick forests of the territory of a 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 poachers today many of the species are thought to be on the verge

of extinction for example only forty far eastern leopards remain here. so ok our amelia of works for the worldwide 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 but 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 to have a good view of everything around him 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 with searches identify leopards each

animal caught on film is given a name. but you need two of these cameras to get snapshots of a leopard when you're there is because the spots on one side differ from those on the other 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're at the same level of of ground so again knows of several instances of leopards taking a camera away therefore he uses steel wire to keep it in place. if you are part of we are going to identify the liberty by most of the spots on its body. so what we're 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 tweak stands in our way. these

unique shots were taken by the world wide fund for nature before camera trucks 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 thick fur of bushy tail and gray eyes distinguish the 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 miss

valentino resorts come with every group she leads out of the list strict rules tourists are supposed to follow. the directions i was in when i landed at kate's us knowledge 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 that it is also you are not to pick up anything from the sea that is no 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 this time with a pool and these japanese read pine is more commonly known as the grave site trying to get this is because it's also found in south korea where it's

a symbol of mourning in the path of such trees the phantom grace there. unlike other trees if it prefers to grow on rocky coasts in many cases the roots of such trees stick out of the shale. by short paralysed 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 mock clear which a marine biologist is a frequent visitor to peril as island. the bullet hole is on hold and you tie it to. his diving gear travels with him wherever he goes but his work place is the sea floor twice a day he goes on the water to study the behavior of fish and the natural

environment for years. i have befriended some of the fish compared with 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. by truck or movements to see were she spawns in the kitty share. 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. or. 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 of the sea floor. alexander will be there for as long as the oxygen in his tanks last. year. i work with marine life in its own environment with i have directed contact with it much in the same way as the ologists on land it should. be 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 a mosaic together to try and form a complete picture of. any. of the three hundred fish species in the primeau ski region some one hundred inhabit

the southern sea in summer they migrate to the north like birds do waiting for them is a wealth of food and spawning grounds in winter the rain life in the peter the great day is less active about one third and really mammals head south. wealthy british style. markets. can. find out what's really happening to the global economy

with max concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report on r.t. . 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 thousand nine hundred six eagle has defended a thesis and written many scientific papers on the subject he spends nearly all his time on ellis island but we've got a little we're on the lookout for possible intruders along the reserves perimeter

of. the closest seal nursery can be clearly seen from here with it's possible to monitor the twenty four hour movement of incoming and outgoing seals. for most the reason is the sales southernmost habit scientists don't yet know how these arctic seals cope with the summer heat most of them had to other cities for feeding but they always return here the breeding 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 kin tavor islands. all three of them . does where we find a seal or three with all the mothers and seal pups. as long as there are no

stores to speak of cats and heads to the nearby islands almost every day. when there are no seals on the beach because x. tufts of the fur and sends them to the fortress 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 manner communicating and bathing. this morning but i figure there are at least two hundred seals here the things i could wish to do. this is some of eco cottons footage of a new born seal another discovery made by cotton is a common sales of the pin mostly region freedomland all other seal species breed on ice floes in the open sea winter searchers 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 no under the overhanging cliffs 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 do you think we should behave as if we're scared out of our wits of the size of these animals and usual. but definitely don't live there and they are if we can help it. if we live in the middle we should just steal. lots of akaka. if a seal comes close to you just relax to keep still and i'll take pictures of you verse for face and how first question. to meet leroy this 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. phoning 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 them 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. just like children. i mean that's reason enough to go carving. common sales have almost no animals in the wild the islands of peter the great day 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 cust urea 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 the tracks to determine the direction of their movements he hopes that several of the pilot as 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 clinton 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 just skies with twigs around it arranged in such a way as to deceive the cautious animal into stepping on the snare. force of the feline will always step over in a finger 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 café in such a way that a leopard stepping over it with one paw gets the other caught in the snare. with all. the traps a leopard is shocked with a tranquilizer dart. once asleep scientists take skin samples

draw blood and collect bits of further tests. that measure its blood pressure pulse and carry out an ultrasound test before the leopard wakes up they also put a g.p.s. color 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 the color 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 in the last. ten years of using camera traps have 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 the female is trailing behind she seems to be flirting with a male something that's not typical of predators for 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 plants to not resemble that counterparts elsewhere guides always make a point of stressing the fact as they take tourists around to reserve. yes maybe do

you know we see a very old ash tree it's probably about eighty years old it looks quite young because of its many trunks and stock appearance strong winds have changed the shape of the leaves on one is 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 of 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 the one is b.c. and fifteen kilometers speed of sound links at least ten hector area to the mainland . but when there have the season downpours salty sea water floods it and this is so called from silent actually and south as one. of.

the marine reserve was established in one nine hundred seventy two since then the underwater world that they become much richer and more diverse divers see it with their own eyes. and vision. and i think happiness is when you're able to do something that you really love you know and of course when it has a purpose of the same time with a bit of wisdom that it was worth all material for other people or try and show them a whole new worlds of. trying to open their eyes about diving. nobody but a diver can witness a battle between crabs and their. tis. only

a diver can appreciate the diversity of stuff fish and make friends with an octopus . in a really productive beautiful dive with some amazing impressions is a real success i'm so happy with the results. the sea of japan is home to an enormous range of fish. to meet me or just hopes that in the distant future he will be able to say that he has visited every single magoon 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 of this land mass to offer. more

news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are the day.
