The exhibition presents 32 works in the categories: "Wild animals", "Birds", " Most Beautiful Country. Landscape", "Cultural heritage of Russia", "From sunset to dawn", "Caves of Russia", "Underwater world", " Young photographer".
To take these amazing pictures, photographers had to rise in the air and fall to the depths of the sea, to hunt down animals and birds for hours. And all this is not only to catch the beauty, wealth and diversity of wildlife in Russia, but also to draw attention to environmental problems and the conservation of rare species of animals.
