The Darwin Museum is hosting the exhibition “Pristine Russia. Selected Works", continuing the program of the festival "Meet the Reserves!" The festival is intended to demonstrate the amazing beauty of Russian nature to the general public, as well as draw attention to the problems of nature reserves and national parks, ecotourism and volunteerism.
The exposition presents works by several photographers, with the pictures dedicated to large author's projects definitely standing out among them.
One of the most memorable expositions of the festival is Liana Varavskaya's photo story dedicated to the life of brown bears.
“The South Kamchatka Wildlife Reserve is home to the largest protected population of bears in the world. Where else, if not by the Kuril Lake, can you observe their life and behavior in their natural habitat from a close but safe distance?"
As theirs is a dense population, they communicate a lot with each other. It is to this part of their life that the photographer draws the viewers' attention.

Andrey Shpatak presents a very interesting project. He debunks the myth that you need to go to the Red Sea or the Great Barrier Reef for undersea beauty. Andrey takes pictures in the Sea of Japan, and looking at them, nobody can ever doubt about its abundance and beauty.
Unique photographs of narwhals, the so called “sea unicorns” - can be seen in the photo report about the expedition “Narwhal. Legend of the Arctic ”, that took place in the Arctic Ocean. Vladimir Ryabkov presents fantastically beautiful, breathtaking landscapes. Igor Shpilenok not only photographs the infinitely beautiful protected forests of Russia, but struggles fairly hard for their preservation.
