{"isbn":9781350917330,"description":"Discovering the Natural History of a Hidden Empire At the heart of this episode, without forgetting Lake Baikal\u2019s nerpa seal, the Volga\u2019s cranes, or the rare Caucasian bison, is a study of one of Russia\u2019s most important natural resources. From the shores of the Volga to the depths of lake Baikal, and to the thousand rivers of the Caucasus, Russia has a supply of incalculable wealth: water. In a world that faces water shortages, Russia\u2019s blue gold has become a precious natural resource. Russia holds a good hundred protected reserves and nature parks that, until now, were kept from the public. They are distributed across an enormous expanse of land that has remained largely inaccessible, until today. Now, a combined Franco-Russian team explores these natural treasures. Their expedition allows us to discover exciting wildlife that is both surprising and unexpected, flourishing in the many unexplored reaches of Russia.
