Wild Edens Russia (2018)

The WILD EDENS project was initiated by the State Atomic Energy Corporation “Rosatom” and includes the filming and broadcasting of a series of full-length documentaries on distant corners of nature, whose ecosystem is especially vulnerable to the effects of global warming. The main goal of the project is to attract the attention of the international community to climate change and the need for a global transition to clean energy. WILD EDENS: RUSSIA - the first film of the new series, telling about the flora and fauna of the one of a kind wild corners of Russia: the Altai Mountains, the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Arctic

Kamchatka is a remote haven for wild in far eastern Russia. Here, animals tread a fine line between survival and succumbing to the deep freeze in this pristine wilderness.

Russia's Lake Baikal, and the Eastern delta on the Caspian Sea are a treasure trove for biodiversity, and strange enigmatic creatures.

Siberia battles temperatures of -80F during winter, its short summers bring heat up to 104F. But these extremes are no barrier to wildlife.

In far Eastern Russia, mountainous boreal taiga in the north meets temperate rainforests in the south. Here species find their last refuge in a wild place like no other.
