A symbol of a return to our historical roots and that the future of belarus will be built on this very powerful solid, but Historical Foundation of our state. Exclusive living rooms of belarus with a long history of the defense valley, we can become younger orthodox architecture and near this period jasu round polite characteristic formation of economical centers of ukraine and live increasingly inflated people. Some place glasses. They were significant. Uh, lunges, rings, the race is almost far away. Walked their meaning. This was the assembled revolution of the chagunka. Changed it. Cultural project, architecture of belarus and intercourse during the soviet period. As if in soul, what is this on our tv channel. Belarus is not obsessive foxes , blockaded rivers and lakes, necrotic nature from how can maxim not be torn from his neck . And belarus is people. We open them for you. We bring traditions to peace and at the same time change our views on sound. And robinga is the light of the yakmahal. Belarusians are so formidable ali their poison one love of the peoples earth belarus 20 hello on the air program say, dont be silent in the studio victoria popova and svetlana smolonskaya. And today our guest is the director of the berezinsky biosphere reserve. Andrey prokoshin. Good afternoon. Hello andrey mikhailovich, im very glad that you came to us. Now they are making a track, finally the longawaited one. Yes, vitebsk , minsk, uh, and how did you get there . Tell us what you saw is good, they are already doing it there. Well , of course, we are waiting for repairs. Not only from the point of view that we will have a good , smooth road, but this repair involves a number of special structures throughout the reserve, which will be aimed at preserving the lives of animals that, by their nature, migrate across the highway. Today we have some minimal structures there, and for the design, as far as i know, there are several ecospirits. A special crossing for animals on the territory of berezinsky right on the territory of berezinsky right. Russia m3, so to speak, probably the three main areas of activity are science. These are ecotourism and Green Tourism. Which of these activities . Ecotourism and Green Tourism bring you the greatest moral satisfaction. Eh, i ll make this remark right away. Uh, in accordance with the law on tourism, in general, if we classify tourism. As a type of activity, all types of tourism that are carried out in the territory, specially protected natural areas are ecological tourism and fall into this category, no matter what we do , it will be business tourism, like astronomical any other its all ecotourism, because, well, we are a specially protected natural territory and plot. Our main activity is eco education and so on. Everything else is some kind of adjectives. Well, in accordance with our charter and our institution, of course. Science is a priority area of activity for the institution. Heres the way to implement this scientific activity. We have such a serious Scientific Department with serious personnel potential. We have two candidates of sciences in it and they are solving the problems that the state has set for us today in close collaboration with embiosis with various institutes and institutions of the academy of sciences of belarus Andrei Mikhailovich but we talked before the recording, and i suggested, thats your job. Your position is a dream job, but you categorically disagreed. Why i didnt quite categorically disagree, but here dream job my grandfather worked as a carpenter and worked at his job until he was almost 90 years old. And we liked him so much. Eh, in particular, for me to come to work at this carpentry shop, this place was called. So, every day he came there at 9 00, at 6 00 he left for lunch, the smell of shavings, and he calmly made some products there, and so it was like the sunrise and sunset. Its like this all the time. He went there all his life. This is the job. Dreams, and my work is such a dynamic tangle of events. This is the second time. This is working with people, working with people is always, but she is so uh with increased danger and harmfulness, yes, just like i am a director administrator, but uh on the other hand. I graduated from the Belarusian Technological University named after kirov in 1993 and got a degree in engineering. And since that very time i have never changed my specialty. And now ive been working for 30 years. Afterwards, there are specialties. And that means im happy with the choice and my choice is right, right, right, which means that its basically the same for you as it was for your grandfather. Lets talk about yours already the wellpromoted festival in shlyakh smoka and watch a short story from our colleagues, belarusian myths and legends. They lived right before our eyes. One of the most mysterious and exciting holidays , the third, takes place here. Folk festival of slavic mythology in shlyakh smoka, the belarusian dragon was able to headline the festival according to legend, lives in a reservoir, but on occasion can also die with fire , and yet the belarusian dragon is a goodnatured and very fair creature. He could give treasures to the kind poor and deprive the unjust rich of their fortune. U with a wellfed body like a seal, with a neat, graceful head and tail, this sweet and goodnatured creature lives in lake lepel. And in 2013 , a sculpture was installed in the city on which that same belarusian dragon could. Well, heres how we managed to make this festival happen in such a short period of time. Eh, the nobleman promoted by such, lets say, well, with his exchange chip. Uh, why did tourists come to you and, moreover, we know that there are minsk residents who specially go there at night to go on an interactive excursion for this holiday. This some kind of magic. Well, magic may be present, because , of course, the festival is mythological, and myths are associated with magic, associated with a fairy tale associated with some kind of magic and with what we believe in, what we can be, something we would like for it to happen, but it didnt happen. Therefore, we give some kind of justification for this, so maybe magic is present, but the main reasons, as they say, are the success of this festival. The first is the friendly , coordinated work of the creative team. This time. Second this is, well, a new topic, not hackneyed. The theme of mythology is a theme that can be interpreted in different ways, and it can be presented to people from an interesting side. It can be served either way, and it is directly intertwined with nature. Eh, this is what our ancestors believed in the middle ages. What did they worship . There are many legends and stories and fairy tales that are very emotional and you can play with it. This can be shown here somehow. And, of course, the fact that the reserve, where today still remains a mythological character only in the reserve. Only there this is why god himself sat down for us to promote this topic. Here are your answers, and i was fascinated by everything. Here is the very idea of what can be done, of course, if we talk about selfdeeds, it was actually born in the diploma project of our employee, who came to us as young specialists. Name is lizaveta. Yes, she worked. Weve had it for several years now. They dont work. So alexey and lisa came to us , they became a family chita, they worked for several years and the topic of lisas graduation project was mythological tourism, a topic we read, looked at, the idea pushed us, and we began to actively work in Different Directions with this topic. Well, magic, what can you say . I was born curious that you have to compete as an administrator. Yes with private business. There is such a thing that ecological trails are offered not only to you, but today there is competition in the country to some extent, of course, there is mostly competition. We have this series, for example, Hotel Accommodation facilities comfort kitchen, that is, what is generally accepted and offered to many, but the tourist product itself is a journey to nature, which only we do, our unique trails, our kayaking trip, you can have different categories of difficulty , even more than 100 km. And not a single settlement. We have no competition. Here, in fact, the only competition is the professionalism of our guides , who must lead the excursion with such interest so that people get carried away by it, so that they walk along the forest path and there is no art , it is impossible to set up and make fires. Go swimming and swimming in a tent on the territory of the reserve. It seemed to me that all this is prohibited there and now uhhuh, but i saw a campsite in shlyakh. That is, these are not tent cities, which are in a specially designated place, not in a reserve, it is absolutely legitimate, but on the territory of a reserve. Indeed, the most stringent regime for the protection of natural territories is our reserve; if, as i often say, all of our specially protected natural territories are placed in the form of a pyramid in terms of safety by security, then at the top of the pyramid is the berezinsky biosphere reserve. Ill stand a little Lower National parks, then nature reserves of various significance, and so on. If i start this interactive excursion with you, i want to come to the festival, where i can stay in a hotel. You can stay in a house. Can you stay at the campground, can you stay . I see. That is , the housing issue has already been resolved. But if you want to visit us in 2024, you can already start booking hotels because they are booking up a long, long time ago. Yeah, thats exactly what this festival means here, that with my tent i dont i cant come there, i cant in that place, which is reserved for forest paths, not only for people. Yes, as you write on your website , camera traps, we looked at recording a variety of beautiful beauties, and there are five, oh, which they often say, bears and wolves and lynxes and bison and moose. Naturally. This is the largest mammal. Yes , the questions we have today concern the bears this year on vit , its not the same; summer residents have more than once recorded a family in dangerous proximity. Bear this is a mother and her children. They were coming right up. It was very, very close that it was possible that there were more of them, there were more bears. Yes, and this is the result. E the work of many e, specialists from various industries and again the economy and scientists who developed a whole range of measures for the conservation and e. Mmm, the establishment of a sustainable number of brown bears in belarus, and we also played a major role in this matter, because the largest bear population in belarus is in the berzinsky nature reserve and somewhere else, maybe 15 years ago. Uh, it was believed that there would be a third bear population in belarus living specifically in the berezinsky nature reserve, generally individualists, and it has, uh, a territorial division. Yes . That is, they cannot live very densely on one unit of area. They inevitably disperse and squeeze each other out. This is why settlement is taking place throughout the entire territory. Today, in the southern regions of belarus, too, bears are observed. Not in large numbers yet. They appear there sporadically somewhere in transit somewhere, but nevertheless. The bear becomes more stable. Uh, well, dangerous is it true or not . At the moment, for example, in our area, where we will introduce surveillance over the whole of belarus, i say. I wont, i dont have this information, but with our maximum density, we havent had a single case of conflict between a person and a bear in the entire history of observations; there have not been any slight pranks of a bear recorded. If there, and someone takes the apiary somewhere into the forest and puts it in the forest, then he can come and try the mark there, but it is an attack on a person. God forbid another injury nothing like that happens. Medvedev has a very, well, highly developed instinct of fear of combat not in front of a person. He always tries to avoid contacts unless the person himself, of course, provokes this meeting and attracts the bear with some of his illconsidered actions. But this is a good sign for the nature of belarus that the bear is getting bigger. How to count, of course . Yes , of course, a good sign. This is normal. The bear is the indigenous species of these territories, if it is returning or has already returned this word. This is good for scientists. Well then it is said that during all these contacts, as you already said during the contacts between bears and humans, not a single bear was harmed, but a little higher. We have already talked about competition between private owners. Lets also talk about partnerships in the media in due course. We were just talking about interaction and partnership between the state and private individuals, have you had successful experience in interacting with uh investors, often investors are one topic and interaction with private business is another topic. This is how i would differentiate it. We are very actively cooperating with tourist, for example, organizations of various forms of ownership and state and private and with pleasure, and we provide Tourism Services to groups that bring us, uh, completely different travel companies from belarus and russia, both private and state and industry, so here is an example of cooperation. This feeling is, uh, investing private companies in our some kind of production cycle, or tourism, well, we havent had such cases, we only cooperate, well, in the service sector, we find in this a mutually beneficial component of the desire for an investor to come and help you build something. Well, of course, why not we opened it if ours are the founders of the president ial administration. They lead in the policy of Investment Management and make the right decisions when needed, one mikhailovich is certainly a participant in holidays and festivals and his beloved children. Bolotnik does everything, possible and impossible, to ensure that the treat is in a good mood, and you called your guide viktor ditch. Yes, the pearl of the team, if he has followers among young tour guides. I want to tell you my opinion. I am convinced of its correctness, in general, in any business and in any direction there must be followers and replenishment of young personnel. This also applies to science, we have young employees who today breathe in the back of the head of the master and naturally. Eat. Uh, we have , uh, in the field of tourism, there are decent employees who, well, can replace karagenadievich, even in the guise of a swamp. And of course, when we have uh, well, about 20 groups there a day, and someday, even more with the swamp, this person may become physically tired and we can replace him, or the person may also hit on vacation. He might get sick. God forbid anything else happens. And children, we are somehow our brand swamper, so there must be someone else, but viktor gennadievich, of course, he is the author of this image, he breathed the soul into it and for the audience to say, he has already communicated with the press before. He ruined himself with ours. Yes in this manner with our previous institution. He is our brand, he is registered with us, as a brand reserve this is exactly the image of victor gennadievich. Lets just listen. What did viktor gennadievich himself say, why did he leave the city . Why is he now on a reserve, how does he formulate his mission . More and more belarusians are discovering that there is a reserve, and those who have already become hooked have fallen into what is called psychological addiction. Sorry , they come several times, but in tourism, when a tourist comes not once, but two or three times, this is an indicator. We are trying our best to create a new project for our guests and come here to experience nature. Heres to relaxation. Well, he looks at the soulful one and wants to go already. Well, of course, he is a sincere person and treats his work with all his heart, thats why he is successful and we love Andrei Mikhailovich , you can list them, and we named the most ones shlyakh smog. What other proven tours do you have . You know quite a lot and they are all presented practically on our website. But if we single out such particularly successful and already traditional ones. For example, we have a veles tour at night, this is also a theme related to mythology. So it is also connected with the night excursion with gatherings around bonfires along a mythological trail with legends and animation. Eh, our tour is interesting. Eh, for example, the traditional thaw tour, dedicated to the eighth of march, is an interesting tour for us. Uh, lovers hearts dedicated to the example of february 14th. Good night Merry Christmas yes on your website, but it was just interesting here are the numbers that attract our tourists most and the kupala dream attracts and christmas candles are always a full house and uh hearts of love attract and veles night they, well, for the capacity that we are planning they work. We literally had a few tours that we tried to do, but there was some kind of rock hanging over them, and they didnt work out. For example, we had a very interesting idea, and the turkamo is also traveling from kamaz this is an ancient slavic holiday dedicated to awakening. The bear celebrated the awakening of the bear and it is believed that this tradition was born in begoml. Eh, not far from us this is such an interesting ritual event to wake up the bear. We cooked it three times. We tried to trick him, but he was unable to do so. By for some reason or other. Tell us why our president voiced this. No need to wake up the bear, thats the whole point. Let us therefore understand that there is something here somewhere and they stopped these attempts. Lets take a break while i remind you for a moment, we have a telegram channel. Tell me, dont be silent. Subscribe, ask questions and suggest guests. We are in touch and our guest is the director of the berezinsky biosphere reserve. Andrey prokoshin wanted to. Andrey mikhailovich show the Scientific Department. Yours too, we found this photo on the site today, like you, there were two candidates talking, and only 16, so far i personally know the person. Igor bashneva. He has been collaborating with all the writing media for a very long time. He described all his observations. He is also an assistant professor. Uh, and uh, i recently found a film online that hes probably making for the anniversary of the berezinsky nature reserve this is the trailer for this film. Eh, he lives in your swamps and continues his observations. Maybe there are some impressive recent discoveries that you would like to tell us about. I would say a little about the constitution. Hes been uh for years, probably more ten nature reserves are closed. He lives on his territory here, he is our partner very much. He is so good and defended his ph. D. Thesis. He worked in the reserve for a long time, and together with him, uh, we solve various problems, including helping his Creative Potential to reveal itself to the maximum. He is a very talented , gifted person. Here in the field of cinematography. And animation directing. Well, of course, hes great, and hes great at doing things, and he does them. Well, brilliantly, i would say, and those films that he filmed. Eh, lately here with us, well, they look like a breeze, in fact. As for the work of the Scientific Department and some brilliant discoveries, but in fact, from maybe the last decade. This was discovered on the territory of nature reserves at one time, office insectbearing plants. It has not been found on the territory of belarus. In fact , it was first discovered here nowhere. Eh, today already. This was also about 10 years ago somewhere. So im not mistaken about myself. Theyre already driving now in the vitebsk region. And another habitat there was discovered somewhere, but at that time it was the only place like this, for example, uh, under investigation. Now there is a very interesting study of our thyriology. The same bear, research on the bear was also carried out a very long time ago, about 10 years ago, and uh, methods for taking into account its biology and relationships in a certain territory. Here is the active use of camera traps and the correct analysis of this information. Our young employees are working today, those who are in love with their work do this. Here are some more interesting, uh, studies, the shrew, for example, uh, somewhere we, uh, read that even on the territory here, almost of the soviet union, these studies have never been carried out, now they are being carried out and very interesting, very interesting, and there is data on this about what our employees publish and show, so we are studying, uh, this is also a unique phenomenon. This is the dynamics of swamps. This means open spaces in swamps, we study hydrology, we study, uh, movement and migration. Here on the surface, mixed territories and so on. Further, if you are interested, research and relationships and interactions with border territories are an interesting observation. Uh, behind the biocenoses , over the course of many decades, how the biocenosis of the tree stand develops has been established in hospitals, trial plots and for many decades. They are observed annually to see what the dynamics are. That is, this is, uh, actually a practical textbook is being written. Yes, its not a modeling of the development of the forest that you know, but growing there for 100 years until the age of ripeness today is a pleasure. And here everything is, uh, step by step gradually, all this has been felt and described; this is very, very important, Global Warming definitely exists and there are many examples of this from migration and various animals that we see today and vice versa from the disappearance of some species of animals, for example, arctic partridge. It was last recorded on our territory in 2010, and then it disappeared. Well, not because she was treated poorly here on the territory of the biosphere reserve, but because the snow cover is already with us not much different than the polar blade should. She becomes defenseless against feathered predators, they just, uh, ate her. Yes, and she shifted and spoke of habitats to the north. Here the snow lies longer, so these are the phenomena. Today we have a visible bogomolov visible. There jackal meets southern plants. Various feather grasses that are characteristic of the steppe. Uh, territories there, uh, we already have more of them today, so Global Warming is the essence of september. Yes, my friends, we are sitting here, as it were, in the middle of summer. Very nice. Andrey mikhailovich what are you doing . In the course of scientific discoveries in general , we have already been enlightened a little on the topic of what your Research Assistants do, but still lets return to where they live, that is, in the reserve itself. For years lets start with the fact that our employees live in such an enclave, and civilizations among the forests, the nearest civilization from us is 2030 km away this is an urban one, the village of begoml, 35 km this is lepela Everything Else is here here with us a person who uh comes to live here. Yes, this is definitely a passionate person. He must understand clearly. Why is he here . Came, he came to dedicate himself. This is the work of serving the forest, serving science, serving nature there. Everyone has their own principles in their head for the task and those people who work today, for example, we will now touch on the Scientific Department, then basically. These people are all passionate about their work ; they are in love with nature. They are keen researchers. And, of course, we try to create conditions for them. Well, such that they dont feel uncomfortable living there, uh, today we offer our people a hostel. Today we are building housing for our employees. We give them multiapartment housing, we build individual construction, we make cottage houses, like uh, our employees, who, so to speak , are oldtimers, they are already, for example, the Deputy Director for science shared it in general. He has already been living there for more than 40 years. He has his own house, which he once privatized, which means, uh, he has a family. E bogutskikh. They changed from minsk to a village, a house of priests and they live there, buy a small house, they live here all their lives after college. How did they finish, they arrived and they work here for the armies, generally the berezinsky ones. Yes, even there is someone else or everyone there. Eh . No, yes why are there pensioners who do not work anywhere . We also have a factory on site. Which have a school, a kindergarten. They work there too. People have a housing and Communal Services section , people also work there and give up everything worldly, in their opinion. Therefore, so that, well, people dont feel themselves. Uh , marooned on some island. We also try to create a certain social environment. We offer maximum effort to we had a school, a kindergarten, medical care, some kind of leisure time. Uh, we organize some travel trips for employees. Eh, therefore, well, of course, the Living Conditions are decent, so that our people can afford to go to the theater in minsk after work if they need to drive 100 km and get into a car after five years to any performance. You can make it in time, if suddenly, uh, society wants some kind of society, and the salary is decent. I think the salary is worthy. If it were unworthy, then the people would have fled from the forest. Yes today we successfully compete with various organizations, people come to us, and i see for myself, as a manager with many years of experience, that you are the only component, yes, uh, of the formation of a healthy and sustainable team. This is a decent salary. These are Living Conditions and interesting work. These three moments coincided for a person. Rest assured, he will work for you with sincerity , honesty and conscientiousness and for a long time , and even more so if you are still attentive to your diploma work. This is yes, who didnt just write somewhere that, but almost immediately, uhhuh well and so on. This is what our team works for. They look everywhere around and at everyone. Well, you tell a very interesting story, you say that there is no staff turnover. Or maybe there are some vacancies. I wanted a team of people who could do something, of course, there are definitely different ones. We have very good reasons. Eh, good nature, good nature , a lot of people do such things on maternity leave. People leave us, so others come, young specialists come to us quite a lot , we attract from different fields, since we have many areas of activity, and therefore different specialties are needed. And so, uh, mostly men come to us as young professionals. They go to the army. Some return, some dont, so there is also a certain dynamic. Someone is retiring. Someone getting married somewhere doesnt necessarily come to us. Uh, get married. Sometimes it happens, unfortunately, that people get married and move somewhere else. Therefore, yes, there are Different Reasons for labor migration. They happen, well , i think that, well, there are such cases when a person leaves because, uh, something doesnt bother him i liked the salary and attitude in terms of work, then these are probably cases if they are isolated somewhere. And so, well, its clear. External factors, lets say, the outstanding english naturalist darrell was in the reserve 40 years ago and filmed an episode of his popular tv series darrell here in russia against the backdrop of todays political geopolitical events. Uh, how is your cooperation with the International Scientific community structured today , no matter what happens in the political arena . This is especially famous protected natural area. E, who is the holder of the european category diploma. And uh, you cant throw it away anywhere , you cant argue with anything. This is a given fact. We are the holders of a diploma from the royal lands of the emerald network, we are in unesco and so on, there are many Different International organizations where we are and we have some statuses, in addition to this we have. Um, unfortunately we were interrupted, uh, legally. Formalized cooperation with, for example, the northern vagesa National Park of france with the kampinovsky uh pushcha park, but uh, we we are conducting these negotiations with them and today these organizations are expressing their intentions and desires to continue cooperation. Sign documents. Here we are invited to some ceremonial events that they hold there and, of course, uh, scientific cooperation in the field of studying nature. Well, he cant be stopped, he cant be stopped. Eh, some kind of political will, and something to destroy it. It is still necessary. And our same connections are there legally. This means we had to sign an extension of the contract, but unfortunately, this is a tripartite agreement. So the french expressed a desire to sign him and took a break. Now, here we are again, these negotiations are back. Well, things seem to be moving, then its possible. Hmm, the agreements, if they are signed, would be very interesting. Uh, the results of joint activities of our ornithologists and other zoologists studying large predators. Eh, there were interesting works. Again, it was planned to study dead wood in our reserve, because in europe it is so large territories where all Economic Activity is prohibited are very difficult to find and it is important for them to see. Here. How much dead wood is still needed in the forest for the forest to grow sustainably and dead wood. It is food for many organisms. Not only for the tree itself, but also for there are mushrooms that grow only on dead wood. There are insects that live only in dead wood and feed on dead wood. Therefore, if we clean out the forest as a park, then we will impoverish both the fauna and flora of them and much, much more in nature it should. To be harmonious you are forced to clean, we are not forced to increase frequency, we are a berezinsky nature reserve priceless. Im saying that sometimes, unfortunately, there are some excesses somewhere, when well , a person doesnt see it very well, maybe, uh, the next thing in the field of environmental legislation, that a person needs to be like in the park, so this is wrong. It didnt crawl through, its a living organism. And everything should be there. Well, i remember that you said in other interviews that foreigners are of course amazed. How many nature we have and untouched nature. And you can enjoy it and people come today, like everyone else, as Foreign Tourists. Well, there are Foreign Tourists. We have it today. Uh, the possibility of visafree visits. Countries. They come from different countries, and to say that many are very foreigners. Of course, i wont say that the vast majority of foreigners here are russians today. Day, but there are tourists from south america, there are tourists from the usa, there are tourists from germany, if from england, if well , practically there are africans from the United Arab Emirates i mean, well, i dont know. There probably hasnt been anyone from australia lately. And so, and so they were from colombia. And what is the percentage of Foreign Tourists . Hmm well, up to ten percent . Well, in principle, its probably not bad. And somehow, well, yes, it influenced, of course, the Baltic States went to the Baltic States. Yes, of course , i also, of course, wanted to communicate with you about the topic of the viral video of a bear jumping over fences. Yes, but we see it. Eh, very often lately ive taken a break. Yes, well, and at the same time i built fences. Uh, how do you count them uh, influence on the life of animals, it is destructive. The answer is obvious, of course. Well, the bear knows how to climb over the fence. And he climbed over, but elk doesnt know how to migrate animals. It is laid down in them at the level of instinct; he needs to go there; he needs to go there; he will go. He will try to climb there, jump and injure himself, he may die, or if he doesnt get there , he will, uh, have some kind of biological failure in some of his vital cycles, this could have, of course, if there are some negative consequences for the population that at the moment, even we cannot guess. This will have an impact in 10 years. Well, it turns out that we also need to negotiate with nature and conservation organizations, of course, and as far as i know, this process is going quite successfully. Is it possible to call Belovezhskaya Pushcha your competitor . Well, more like a partner, yes, as competitors, i wouldnt say, we are trying not to compete with the belarusian forest, again we are talking about tourism. They have the residence of father frost there, and we have the swampmans estate. They have, uh, some of their own events. We are having a mythology festival different in terms of security regime. Well, yes, its hard to call us competitors of National Parks, because they have a freer visiting regime. Our tourism. It is within very strict limits. In our country , a tourist cannot walk around the territory on his own, unlike stark, but a person cannot take a bicycle and ride along some forest paths through the territory of nature reserves. Well, why do they exist so early if we have something . We are slavs, but this is impossible, it is very, very impossible to collect this in the reserve mushrooms and berries , someone should definitely go there and look. What if they are sweeter there . If you cant ride on your own, then a few years ago we even had this topic some minsk resident was organizing illegal groups here. He called out this cry on social networks come on, ill lead you along secret paths to nature reserves. yes, the stalker is like that, yes, yes, yes, and so he drove around everything, but was caught by the employees. Yes , many protocols were written, including against those who went with him and were brought in there were all administrative responsibilities. In addition, there they wandered through these forests, cut down trees, threw rubbish, that is, well, behaved disgracefully, so to the credit of our employees. This is a disgrace. It was stopped quite deftly and quickly. Well, well, you didnt mention e, do you have kayaks yet . Yes, kayaking and horseback riding. You are tourists, yours are allowed. I wanted to ask, but here is a swamp. This is some kind of new topic tourism. Swamp, yes now we have such a route called an extreme route. Yes uh, what is he into himself includes . This is a difficult route, again, so you understand. Yes, we cant get together, but lets make a tourist route or an ecological trail here. Lets go straight behind this bush. Uh, in order to make a new route or create a new trail. We need to make a whole row. Uh, procedures, starting from the fact that our scientists should explore this territory in more detail to see if anyone living there is extremely rare and red book, if some kind of a plant that will be trampled or the soil aeration will be disrupted, which will have a bad effect on some woody plants that grow there, that is, many factors are taken into account, if everything is fine there, then we begin to work out the route, we lay it out with gps, overlay it on the cartography, coordinate it with academy of sciences passes through the scientific and technical council. Only then can this route be implemented and tourists can be brought onto it. Thats why weve made this route for several years, its called. Here are the people in the swamp, that means a man is walking through the swamp, our guide is leading him. They walk through difficult conditions there in boots somewhere there we scare with swamps and so on, well , of course the route is safe nobody drowns there, but , nevertheless, its hard there and like our employee uh, alexey bokovets, who is its author and uh , implemented it like a pioneer. I insisted on making the route more difficult. And he says that you know, so this route will now sit as an average load for special forces. Comrade director, there is no need to go too far. I sometimes find it popular, of course, of course i am. Yes, you would have passed it more difficult, Andrei Mikhailovich. Well, are there, uh, a lot of mosquitoes . Yes, well, mosquitoes, mosquitoes this is not the most terrible factor, which is the most terrible factor , what to prepare for. Hmm, if you walk in the evening, you might be dragged away by a kikimora . Yes, there may be a swamp there, perhaps. There may be a troublemaker who pesters women. There may be various mythological creatures that add variety to your life, but can also complicate it. And you are mosquitoes, mosquitoes this is an extreme banality dangerous, but very exciting. In the meantime, we will take a short break from our telegram channel. Tell me, dont be silent. Subscribe, ask questions and suggest new interesting guests to us. We are in touch. On the air tell me again, dont be silent, and our guest is the director of the berezinsky biosphere reserve. Andrey prokoshin 12 years old. Youve already counted correctly, and its a nature reserve. What interesting things did you see there for your quickness, our priceless asset . Im not different and there are many of them and i see them, great. So far the eyebrows have seen the chupacabra well, the chupacabra i have not seen and i think that even the fact that such a word is alien to our slavic language. You dont, it doesnt exist, but Andrei Mikhailovich i already said that its often there and i saw it, but it looked like a chupak, it just ran across with a bloody mouth. So, well, from one part of another reserve, thats something. What do you think, i think it meant something, probably some kind of tourist. No, okay, come on, you were probably running and driving fast. Yes, they were expecting a miracle, this miracle is for you. Maybe you were still dozing before, no there youre not asleep, well, okay, but have you really never seen such an invisible animal, unknown to nature . Well, our territory has been explored quite well. And i can say one thing that we have. Eh, territories where no one has ever set foot. This is us discussing our uniqueness and inaccessibility. Even more than 60 of the reserves territory is a swamp, upland. Yes, as you know , it is very difficult to walk through a swamp, then for sure there are places where no person has set foot. And maybe theres some kind of fossil lying there, thats what there is. Uh, some rare species of dinosaur that no one has discovered yet, so everything is ahead in our world by scientists. Ok then. There are about 6,000 species of animals in the reserve. And what animals or birds today need special protection, our science spoke about this and created the red book. All those who are in the red book need protection and protection, and what measures are there for this , also each has its own methods. Well, during the pause we asked, have you seen venuss shoe . Do you have it . We have it today the existence of orchids in swamps is a fact in itself. Yes, he is already amazing, as it seems to me, or is it for them . Naturally, wednesday. Well yes, this is for them. Naturally yes, of course, well, an orchid. They are very beautiful and somewhere to this degree they were exposed, maybe, im saying that i want to tear off the beauty of manmade influence, we always teach children that i picked a flower and it died, and so on. You can come 10 times and see how he is doing. There are such types of animals or birds, for example. Heres a bird of prey, were talking about that oh, there are few birds of prey, they are all large predators, also in the red book, in fact, but the conditions of their life and habitat are such that there simply cannot be many of them, because they need a very specific territory, they need open space, but at the same time alternating with forest so that there are some oldgrowth forests that are managed in normal, for example , operational areas. Well , there are very few quiet representative areas where no Economic Activity is carried out. Here is a large array, for example, here is the reserve , berezninsky, Belovezhskaya Pushcha, and so, uh, and they are very bright, such individualists, they divide the territories, that is , they cannot live there on two hectares, five whitetailed eagles, they will be killed. Its just that, anyway, someone will live there alone and he will squeeze out the rest. Therefore , these birds are rare and we will not be able to make them so that there are many, many of them. Thats how they are. Thats their nature. How do you feel about those greens who insist on radical measures to stop traveling on airplanes from food, meat and so on, but they say its thunberg. Yes here remembers what you think about it. Is it time to directly introduce a categorical ban . Well, i m skeptical about this, its clear that with the normal development of civilization, when we have Construction Projects and some technological ones, we are all moving forward. They are under fairly strict control of Environmental Services today. Hmm, build new facilities. Its a whole procedure. This is a whole series of, uh, project activities and to your liking sharpening control. In the ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Assessment bodies, which constantly measure everything, even some simple boiler room there, there is a whole bunch of devices so that you can come to any level of the pipe to take an analysis of these gases and see what is being released into the atmosphere. And protective measures. For example, these filters that capture 908 of smoke, they sense smoke from all sorts of harmful solids that could be released into the atmosphere, so civilizations develop, of course, new ones will be made airplanes, new cars are invented. But they are becoming more and more environmentally friendly, so to say that with the development of civilization something so fragile and delicate is being destroyed here, i would not say so. Well, such a personal question, considering where you work, and you are a vegetarian, well, im a normal person, and yes, i have meat and vegetables and fruits. You said it was children. Teach yes, this is one of the tasks of the berezinsky biosphere reserve, too , interaction, yes, man and nature, and they hear modern children, of course, absolutely in im sure of that. And even ill give you an example, uh, remember our forests about 20 years ago. When you get off the highway somewhere its a complete dump. Well , in general, its just disgraceful, and today, and today is good, the fox is some soldout people, relaxing. They already understand that they need to collect their garbage in bags. They have definitely increased here and all the activities that are carried out and uh, the bodies of the ministry of resources and social advertising are working and our efforts, including the formation of some kind of public movements of opinion. Yes, they succeed, the results are definitely in 2 years, the reserve will be 100 years old, a very beautiful date, even such an important anniversary. I think that you are already preparing for it, what you, as a director, as a steward, and as the owner of this place, would like to do in the next 2 years, what you want to do. I want to say that, of course, this nature reserve is 100 years old. Well, such a serious, serious period, a century. And probably, matters should not be judged in the last 2 years. We can do in the last 2 years something local to create an object. Uh, always build something. And weve already done Something Else six times already. We have, of course, but uh, the results of the work of these generations of generations of entire scientists, generations, foresters of generations, foresters, so it will be appreciated by our descendants. During this time, have we not lost the value of this place, have the conditions worsened, have we launched some kind of industry there to extract such predatory subsoil, but still preserved this gene pool and remained here, and this pristine nature remained here and many. I take off my hat, as they say, to my predecessors and leaders and workers, who, both after the war and before the war and after the revolution, immediately in all sorts of terribly difficult years. They still preserved this forest, preserved this nature, preserved traditions that were very important and passed them on. That is the need to preserve this place, uh, by the leader and the powers that be, but we really liked Andrei Mikhailovich what we heard today in particular. Eh, the fact that culture is increasing and citizens already understand that the forest is our wealth. How not it sounds corny and as we see very often on the track. Yes, these are social videos, but they should be. It seems to me that it is never superfluous to remind. And today you probably inspired us to go to the reserve and choose one of your tours, which you have a huge number of options to develop. On your anniversary, of course, i wish you the fulfillment of all the yet unrealized projects that you have in mind. Well, we will be happy to invite your employees to our studio. Hear about their new and new discoveries. Thank you thank you. Thank you, svetlana smolonskaya and victoria popova say goodbye to you for today. Goodbye. Goodbye. And now andrey prokoshan speaks. Today, the berezinsky nature reserve is one of the few places where people can touch pristine nature, and the place where our children receive some basic basic knowledge about how our earth lives around us and how organisms interact. How the forest grows and how it dies. Therefore, i invite all our fellow countrymen to be sure to visit the berezinsky nature reserve. On our trails and routes, take children to the green school. And i also want to congratulate all forestry workers on their professional holiday. Good luck to you. Our Program Includes the most active schoolchildren from all over belarus. I know that the middle ages are divided into three periods. Its early middle and later, so i said yes to win our game. They are not catching freebies, but new information. And if my memory serves me right, the horn is a wind musical instrument, the musical size of a waltz is 3 4, because here is the beat there are three shares of one, two, three tickets, the super final will be given to the one who can answer the maximum number of questions. The question is quite difficult, but something told me to answer exactly no. Alexey what is the formula of air . Well, air, what is the formula . No, its just a mixture of different gases. Its nice to talk to you. Look in the project. I know on the tv channel belarus 24. Each of the heroes of the project is engaged in a very important matter. My name is elena alshevskaya. I am Deputy Director of tourism berezinsky biosphere reserve. My name is alexander budyusain and i am the general director of the National Olympic stadium dynamo stadium , a stadium born for your victories. We will introduce you to people who have found their calling; for me, the stadium is a dynamo of life. Heading such an arena well, this is not an easy matter, we suggest spending one day with specialists and learning all about the intricacies of their work. The reserve has a very large species diversity, both plants and animals. Our main task is to preserve nature for the present and future, watch on the tv channel belarus 24
