The Territory

 “The Territory” is a term used by biologists and ecologists to refer to Nature Reserves and National Parks, where they live and work. This photographic series is about them, their way of life and mission of preserving these areas.

The Territory is a project about biologists, ecologists, meteorologists and other researchers and scientists from different fields, who lead very isolated lives in remote Nature Reserves and National Parks in Russia. Some of these specialists were born in these places, while others left big cities and relocated to tiny villages or secluded bases away from society. No matter where they came from, they are fully dedicated to their mission of preserving and saving these protected areas, their nature and abundant wildlife. The Territory explores their way of life and traditions that are often passed from one generation of dedicated researchers to the next. The series offer a unique glimpse into the idyllic concept of harmonious co-existence between humans and the natural world while highlighting that this is something we cannot afford to lose.
