The Silence of the Estuaries

Description

Ukrainian authorities aim to protect the fragile ecosystems of Tuzly Estuaries National Nature Park while facing the destruction caused by ongoing war. Scientist Ivan, park director Iryna, and their team document war crimes against nature, rescue birds, and combat poaching. Over four seasons, they work tirelessly to restore the park's delicate balance despite the chaos surrounding them.

The film captures their ongoing battle against poaching and the impact of war on the ecosystem. By the end, the team remains committed but faces an uncertain future as the conflict continues to threaten both their mission and the natural world they aim to protect.
