Such extreme trip he’s going to take to draw public attention to the problem of preservation of wild untouched corners of Siberian nature, recalled its richness and beauty, helplessness before increasing anthropogenic influence.
“Main Department of Natural Resources and Ecology supports the active and indifferent attitude to Alexei conservation of native wildlife. Household garbage mountain in vacation spots – on the banks of rivers and lakes, in the woods – one of the most pressing problems in the region. At the same time many “tourists” there is some innate belief that someone has to clean them all this rubbish,” – noted in the department.
Alexei Shesterikov says traveling in Altai Krai and Siberia and doing photography, he watches as the year-on-year increases consumer attitude towards the environment, “Inaccessible areas have retained their integrity, but the monstrous level of domestic pollution of nature – a characteristic feature of all places, available to man.
