In this film, you will go on a journey to the incredibly beautiful country of Uzbekistan, known for its unique culture and unique mountain landscapes. The pearls of the mountains of Uzbekistan are Bukhara markhor and Bukhara urial, which were previously under the threat of extinction, but thanks to nature-saving hunting, their populations are successfully restored.
Trophy hunter Sergey Mazurkevich is going to Uzbekistan, where, in the company of his wife, he will become a participant in one of the most exclusive nature-saving hunts. Together they will hunt Bukhara Markhor and Bukhara Urial.
Markhor forms several subspecies, differing mainly in the shape of the horns. Subspecies are common: Western Himalayas, Kashmir, Little Tibet, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. Today, almost everywhere this species is endangered and hunting for it is strictly regulated.
Hunting for the Bukhara urial in Uzbekistan is another opportunity to support the protection and conservation of rare animal species. Due to the fact that the urial is a protected and endangered species, hunting for this species is also subject to strict rules and regulations. Including a limit on the number of permits issued and certain security measures.
Mountains occupy a significant part of the territory of Uzbekistan and are one of the main attractions of the country.
The climate varies according to altitude. Above 2500 meters - it is severe and mountainous. With low temperatures, strong winds and heavy snowfalls in winter. At lower elevations, the climate is milder. Sometimes, due to low humidity, a strong frosty wind is felt here, but in general, in the south of Uzbekistan, even in winter, temperatures are quite comfortable.
Trophy hunting and nature conservation are inextricably linked concepts. True trophy hunting is always carried out within the law. Its meaning is in the production of an OLD male with worthy trophy qualities. Such a male, as a rule, no longer leaves healthy offspring and his shooting will not harm the population. In turn, the high cost of such hunting motivates the community to care about the welfare of the species. It also allows you to finance the protection of these animals from poachers who prey on young individuals for meat or skins.
To some, this conclusion will seem unethical, but the fact remains. Without trophy hunts, it is simply unprofitable to protect rare species of animals. Only the competent use of natural resources and a rational approach will increase the number of rare animals and preserve their genetic diversity for future generations.
