In search of the black stork
The Bryansk Forest Reserve, a small corner of untouched Russian wilderness, is home to thousand-year-old trees and many rare animal species. In the Bryansk Forest’s impenetrable thickets you can find birds believed by many to be almost mythological —- few people have seen black storks and ornithologists themselves consider a meeting with such feathered creatures to be one of great luck. In order to build their nests black storks chose the deepest and nearly impassable places. For mankind, reaching such places is no simple feat, and sometimes completely impossible. It is this quality which helps the Bryansk Forest to keep its many wild secrets. RTG TV presenter Igor Maximenko learned this for himself when he set out on a photo-safari to capture the elusive black stork on film in the wild thickets of the reserve.
European bison: return of the giants
Karachayevo-Cherkessia. Crystal-clean air. Snowy mountaintops. Broad valleys. Eternal serenity. Among all this beauty of the Caucasus Mountains lives an animal whose power and majesty allows it to lay claim to the title “master of the forest”. It makes its home in Terberdinsky National Park, living in conditions as close as possible to those in the wild. These mighty beasts have lived in the Caucasus since time immemorial. The gentle giants, who managed to survive the Ice Age, eventually found themselves on the brink of complete extinction. Even now they remain a vulnerable species, forced to continually adapt to an ever-changing world. Discover more about these last wild bulls of Europe, European Bison, on RTG TV.
