a russian winter they have been known to attack domestic animals which have never charged to humans just giving 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 dobby is always an adventure. local divers rarely visit the seas the waters close to home the fall more diverse covers so much interest than lifetimes can be spent exploring. for dmitri who just diving is more than a hobby it is his life the hood 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 hearing it going. on since there have been totally carried away by it all my soul it's my business on my free time revolves around underwater photography what woman would you want to follow any dive getting a team together is of utmost importance the instict state that at least three divers a presence at any one time too will be underwater. to help the other in case of emergency the third remains in the motor but half. of all of them want to do the story of so much i've literally been counting down the days you know as you know i was one of the first to go into the water. this year i've been going through four times
8:34 pm
a week. the same goes for last year are you this red i'm going to start growing some kills of the love of. peter the great day in the sea of japan most of the islands in the surrounding waters are protected areas dimitris keep them on the wall to models his favorite diving spots in far east moviemaker trees a. joke how deep is it here at five meters. this triggering quickly. color and shape of flora and fauna on the shores of the bay of the result of evolution in a harsh environment in which it is too cold for natives of the southern seas the
8:35 pm
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 for tens of 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. you know every guy 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.
8:36 pm
scientists of 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 attitudes who. there are some three hundred species of fish in peter the great payload they're the subject of several research institutes five hundred metres the bays in the coastline is also part of the far east marine nature reserve the hills and fake forests are the territory of the kid drove 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
8:37 pm
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 and now digital cameras are used to capture footage every leopard has a unique pattern of spots the markings help researches identify leopards each
8:38 pm
animal caught on film is given a name but 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 consequently you need to make sure that the leopard is in full view from every angle. two camera traps are lined up on both sides of the trail special care is taken to make sure they're the same level of of ground so gay knows of several instances of leopards taking a camera away therefore he uses steel wire to keep it in place. here we are we are going to identify the liberty by most of the spots on its body and. so what we are going to do is make sure that the cameras are placed at the right level i mean . if we were lepers on a trail we would realize that this tweak stands in our way when we fly these
8:39 pm
unique shots were taken by the world wide fund for 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 thick fur 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 tools of the far east marine nature reserve one of the miss

valentino resorts with every group chiles out of the list strict rules tourists are supposed to follow. the directions i was in when i landed it keeps us and always 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 if it is 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 c. d. chores but once they reach the top they are awarded with a spectacular sight these sculptures of the results of the wind and sea eroding the rocks over millions of years extraordinary trees have taken roots here to this time with the said call and these japanese read fine is more commonly known as the grave site fine writing again this is because it's also found in south korea where it's
8:41 pm
a symbol of mourning in the death of such trees are planted on graves there are 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 perilous 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 h. and the rain biologist is a frequent visitor to pale as islands. hold it hold it i 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.
8:42 pm
for years. i have befriended some of the fish. and i have regular contact with them. because some of them spawn here in mid september. you can sometimes a female fish sticks around here for several days ok if my truck or movements to see where she spawns it shared for. 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
8:43 pm
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 lasts. i work with marine life in its own environment with i have direct contact with it much in the same way as you ologists own land to you. here for 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 inhabit
8:44 pm
the seven seas and summer they migrate to the north like birds too waiting for them is a wealth of food and spawning grounds in winter rain life in the peter the great day is less active about one third of marine mammals head south. cultures that so much of an oldish decision. that mark west is it deja vu all over again united nations nuclear watchdog the i.a.e.a. claims in a new report that iran is moving ever closer. right to clean goes town. squandered money. abandoned.
8:45 pm
what is now. more than sixty square kilometers of environmental devastation and those who are still surprising new lives and fighting for just their lives getting bad out here but not saying hardly any birds squirrels you know. ducks yes you know i don't know what's going on here. concrete monarchy. are 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 the eagle has defended a thesis and written many scientific papers on the subject he spends nearly all his time on ellis island but with the little we're on the lookout for
8:46 pm
possible intruders along the reserves perimeter of. the closest seal nursery can be clearly seen from here with what is possible to monitor the twenty four hour movement of incoming and outgoing seals in. country mostly region is the seals southernmost habet scientists don't yet know how these optics seals cope with the summer heat most of them head to other cities for feeding but they always return here the breeding the common seals of peter the great they 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
8:47 pm
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 tree 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 bracing for this war but i figure there are at least two hundred seals here to three and a quarter were full of. this is some of eager cottons footage of a new born seal another discovery made by captain is that the common seals of the for most the region freedomland all other seal species breed on ice floats in the
8:48 pm
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 noakes and 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. definitely don't live there and they are if we can help it. if we live in the middle we should just steal. blocks. if a seal comes close to you just relax and keep still brought up and i'll take pictures of you verse for face and office.
8:49 pm
dimitri who 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. 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 care carving. common seals have almost no animals in the wild the islands of peter the great day early habited by thousands of them seal hunting in the reserve is banned but even
8:50 pm
then scientists are anxious about the future of the population. not 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. aleksei custody or as 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
8:51 pm
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. before 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 caffein such a way that a leopard stepping over it with one paw gets the other caught in the snare. with. the traps a leopard is shocked with a tranquilizer dart. once asleep scientists take skin samples
8:52 pm
draw blood and collect bits of the 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. in this way we will know which places are more important than others with less. than ten years of using camera traps are produced a wealth of archive footage scientists are quite familiar with the name stamped
8:53 pm
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 or the male as well advanced in years he has earned 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 is they take tourists around the reserve. yes we do
8:54 pm
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 is one of the stops on the top is the one is this is a fifteen kilometer speed of sand links at least ten hector area to the mainland. but when there are how does season downpours salty sea water floods it and this is so called from silent actually ans up as one. of.
8:55 pm
the ring 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 and. 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 width of that it was so much cereal 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
8:56 pm
a battle between crabs and their. says. only a diver can appreciate the diversity of stuff the show and make friends with an octopus eating a really productive beautiful dive with some amazing impressions is a real success i'm so happy with the results of. the sea of japan is home to an enormous range of fish. to me to 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 a more than one lifetime as he has barely seen a fraction of the wealth this land has to offer.
