Hundreds of

Natural Resources and Environment were invented by children in less than a

one of the priority animal species of the national project Ecology.
More than

These are tales about the adventures of the Amur tiger, Asian and Far Eastern
leopards, snow leopard, saiga, argali, gazelle, Polar bear, Siberian crane,
Przewalski's horse, bison, gray and bowhead whales of the Okhotsk Sea
