Explain how adding animals will stop permafrost from melting. Tf does one have to do with the other? Thats the most unconvincing idea.... believing in poorly planned illogical ideas has proven to be dangerous throughout history.
You know what they say, madness and genius are only devided by a thin line. Russians had always had also great thinkers. When you understand exponential growth, this becomes less of a mental stability than a logistical issue. Though to succeed, mental strength here shown in their stoicism sure is still base for it all to get going at all.
This man is so far beyond so many people of all generations in planetary awareness. I cant even imagine what people had thought of him back then considering now.
Yet when I tell people about aliens, corruption, climate change, Advanced technology, humanity's spiritual growth is all connected no one takes notice 😂😂 The thing this guy is right about is this civilization won't last.

Probably one of the few areas of climate change where a billion dollars and a few hundred men and women could make a really big difference, maybe change the world
Totally agree with you on that but they have not & will not show him on main stream media because they feel like they will loose billion's of $ dollars with the power players, the evil forces of the Oil/Gas industrial bully's...🤦😂😂😂 I've not seen the documentary yet but i think i heard of him before... No money or resorces for him, they're going to pull as much money & for as long as possible before the world dies with us all..😂😂😂
Don't forget that this is a scientific project on a very small scale. We don't really know if it would help even if we would invest all this money and manpower. I would love to know when this documentary was actually made... Is it older then... Let's say 10 years? Ultimately, the world itself don't give a damn about humanity and we can do everything we want on this planet. But after the last human is gone and the earth had a few hundred thousands of years to acclimate itself, life will come back anyway. We are just a short chapter in the history of our solar system and our earth.

I have to personally congratulate Luke Griswold-Tergis on what I think is probably the best documentary I've seen of this year. A truly original tale with some of the most thoroughly interesting characters. The Zimovs perfectly capture that classic stoic yet quietly fatalistic attitude in a way that makes this story feel truly real and places a sense of urgency upon the audience, a sense of desperation even; for these main characters and in effect our planet. I think you've made something that will have long standing reverberations for science, for the Zimovs and Pleistocene Park, for this planet, for this crisis, and ultimately for your own filmmaking journey. Having seen that "Burden of Dreams" poster in that quick shot of your editing space I know this is only the beginning for you. By the end of it I think you'll be fully deserving to stand with the likes of Herzog. Can't wait to see your next project Luke, even if it does take another decade. Cheers!
Simply love this man's eccentric character and humble attitude, not to mention his seemingly simple yet difficult and deep and profound solutions. A great and wise man, indeed. Beautiful family there as well. Much respect.
Still lack of professionalism and seriousness. I mean a 1month trip for bison, the chance mortality would be very high. (Lot of eurasian wisent and Musk Ox died) Wapiti who escape Domestic species and not wild animals But he's a Pioneer, he do what he can
@@ayoubzahiri1918 It's not really serious or anything. More like the dream of a lunatic who do it as best as it can, it's far from it's nearly chaotic DIY at this point
@@kajakern268 we are not all build for terrain, or cold. and we do not all have the ability to travel half the globe or learn russian. your immature remark is simply invalid
Humbling. Zimov and his family display such ingenuity and resourcefulness. They clearly love the land they live on, and have the courage to try to preserve it.
One thing i think we should try to train our childreen and all next generations for is to think of yourselves more as custodians of earth and living things, than trying to own and control what was not ment for that.
As a Russian from northern Siberia myself I would like to THANK YOU for drawing attention to this beautiful man and for bringing awareness to this topic. Permafrost thaw is a huge concerning issue there. This man in a pink beret is a true saint, I tell ya. And when Nikita said that Luke (the director of this documentary) is surprisingly industrious for someone who's never had a job in his life, I knew this must have a reason. If someone from Siberia is saying that a person is not as useless as he/she could be, this is a good indication that this person has gone through something. I wasn't surprised by Luke's childhood story. I think his life experience played a huge role in bringing this amazing documentary into existence. What a guy, hard-working and humble at the same time. Excellent work.
Agreed, unfortunately the TH-cam algorithm made sure in 8 days it only got like 200K views, which is almost nothing compared to other works of equivalent quality (meaning only Vice subscribers were exposed to it likely due to notifications and maybe a few thousand random viewers) - TH-cam was bought by Google who sold out to corrupt US government, now they censor anything Russian because we can’t have Russian scientists being the heroes solving climate problems in the west. So I don’t know, I am only disappointed by that. This movie is incredible and I gained respect for Vice for not only doing it but for not being sellouts and keeping it real. If this were someone in any other nation it would have millions of views by now but hopefully it will get found by more people.
@@twilit the thing is, animals back on the land is the ONLY way to keep that carbon in the soil. We have no choice here. If you use machines to trample the soil it emits more greenhouse gases- the thing we are trying to reduce in the first place. Plus animals have a number of subtle effects on the land and ecosystem that heavy machinery could never match. We just HAVE to repair the ecosystem by putting the lost puzzle pieces back
I am so grateful to these 2 scientists for rising their voices for protection of our planet!! What we can do to support them? We must do something to support such wonderful people and their idea!
Amazing documentary, spread the awareness and help these people out. These kind of people should be revered and honored in this world and instead they’re unheard of. Great job bringing this to light. I can only imagine the true amount of work behind the scenes that’s required to accomplish all that. Is there a way to donate to his cause? If so you should post it (if already done, sorry I didn’t see it)
You have really drawn me in. Before I knew it I was crying real tears over these people. The story took some twists and turns. We watched his son suddenly take charge, after you asked him what was his vision of this project.? Your father has done all he can do. Really superb storytelling at its best. The ultimate question, what are we willing to do for our earth?
Τhey went from being confronted with scepticism and a slight touch of irony, to being largely acknowledged. They are ahead of the largest Rewinding project of the world. Well done Zimovs.
Some people look at me like a madman. Here is a smart and educated man who has been proven to be right, who is just doing his best to accomplish his own goals with so much pushback in so many ways, volunteering his time more or less. Sometimes it's people, uneducated and educated alike, sometimes it's the weather he's fighting against. I respect this man and his family. We all have our dreams, we aren't crazy for trying to make them a reality.
this was an amazing 2.5 hour experience, as an anthropologist in the formation stages i appreciate and applaud the time, energy, and dedication to raising awareness about global sustainability!
This is the best thing I've ever seen from Vice or on film this guy literally is trying to save the world and carry it on his shoulders it's inspirational.If your human and not working or living to build a better place for us how can you be Happy. Most people would never even have the heart or guts to attempt this !?.
I am really worried about Zimovs sustaining their park now, when the war is happening and all the funding and ties with the world are cut off. It was already a tremendously hard task before the war, i can’t imagine what it would be like today. This problem really needs to be raised. These guys are doing a heroic job for the future of all of us
Do you think you are the first person to have this revolution? Just google them and donate. If you spent any time at all looking into your question you would have found the answer, mong.
Usually scientists keep talking tp each other. Even during the peak of cold war, the powers were still talking to each other and scientists were still going to conferences organized on both sides of the iron curtain (don't confuse it with iron dome, a totally different thing) And although moving resources is now difficult, I don't think that his correspondence with whoever he is in contact suffered. Too bad Russia is ruled by cleptocrats, who don't give a damn about scientific process, as they can't benefit from it. But hey, where is it different?
@@evgenysavelev837 Americans forced EU into hard sanctions. Germany last a major energy supplier and became more dependent on LNG from the US and Katar. Than the whole conflict in the middle east broke lose and Katar couldn't supply Germany as much anymore. Left with only the US as a major energy supplier, do you know what the Americans did? They increased the price by 400% Meanwhile the Russians welcoming to the idea to open NS1 and sell gas to Germany to the market price (before it was around 4 times cheaper for Germany because of old deals). If you have friends like the Americans, the Russians are really your last problem. Because I didn't even mention the US being responsible for blowing up NS2. Biggest scumbags on the planet.
"As hard as this is, as much as they struggle against the universe to make any headway, this could only happen in Russia. In America, even if you were a billionaire, you wouldn't even attempt something like this. It wouldn't be allowed." I just love this
Perhaps you are unaware of " evil " Ted Turner & what happened with the promotion of returning Bison 🦬 to the N.American west in the latter 1980s & 1990s.There are now 50,000 + Bison , prior to the 80s there were ? A few 1000 ? There was an American scientist who suggested returning Bison herds to the ranges they thrived in for hundreds of yrs prior to the 1840s when USA policy became ; " Wipe out the Buffalo & you wipe out the Native American food source " And so it was ....And here we are ...Just about 7 generations later.... Native American wisdom speaks of thinking of the 7th generation before embarking on a path. It seems modern folk are delivered a 7 sec sound byte that they should then decide to purchase something in 7 min Get it delivered to them within 7 days , Play with it for 7 hrs ...Gradually get bored with it in 7 wks as it loses its novelty , doesn't do what it was supposed to , or breaks & is not made to be repaired, So , 7 mons later it is another piece of junk in a landfill ‼️ 7 generations ❓ How can we even 🤔 THINK 🤔 about 7 generations , when 7 years in an ETERNITY❓ Koyannasctsi
I get what you’re saying but go over it a few times and you’ll come the logical conclusion that this is such a depressing statement about the rest of the world that is maybe, just maybe, too concerned with bureaucracy.
@@matter9 it is a bit depressing, and it very succinctly describes the reality of our world. I hate that things are that way, but it inspires me to continue thinking about doing things differently. We've trapped ourselves with our own system... so how do we get out?
This is one of the best documentaries ive ever seen..but mostly because its got a allmost contageous vibe to it and you really want them to make it this time. I also tought its very funny..
i think views only count as views if someone watches the video fully... but still it's a fair amount now. still, i think a lot more people should see it!
Huge appreciation to this man for his genius efforts. Sadly none of the billion rich politicians or capitalists will spend even a dime on such projects that might hinder their mad hunger for money. We, as citizens should be aware whom we are electing and especially it is on us to think about our future and the coming ones.
Well i said at first, "I'm not watching 2 and half hours right now but Ill start it"That was 2 and half hours ago. It was great. The mission was one that needs a spot light for awareness and attention and action. The place was great to remind the world that people like them live there. All of Russia is not made of the same material as Pufin and so to have empathy still. The characters were fascinating. Their goals and intentions and the whys of that are something all should strive to aim for if humility is of mind. The film maker was also very much a part of the story and that also made the film more revealing as we see how he changed with the time and experience. But what I'm not sure he may understand but his involvement I believe is the reason they got noticed and supported on a grander scale and had it not been for him motivating that I think the old man would have thrown in the towel eventually. At the end of the film he actually looked younger and happy and had a pep in his step that wasnt there the first half of the film. I hope his son raises his daughters in the middle of it all and teaches them everything hes learned so that they will have the knowledge love and dedication to continue the work their grandfather started. (dont ever get them a smart phone, it makes people stupid) a desk top for all the necessities. The generations that were born into this world of smart phones, that think a flip phone is from the olden days are the kids that halt in mental growth the minute a phone is put into their hands, have become burdens. We need people that interact with the physical world. People too are herd animals(many in more ways than one) but like bison begin to get sick and die when separated from affection. Make choices where in the long run your decision was a benefit to something necessary. Waste no opportunity to make a difference that matters for those that their parents havent even been born yet. The better future we can guarantee for them is a life lived well
You can still go to Russia now. You just go through Turkey, and maybe first apply for a visa and get an invitation from a citizen. Thank you for this documentary. It's been awhile since I've watched VICE. For once in a long time this was a refreshing, politically neutral and crazy interesting video.I'm happy there are people like Zimov and Nikita and family in the world. Thank you Luke.
Greetings from Denmark! Listen to Niels,hes a really clever person! And mad respect to the project! Here in Denmark the Bison have been introduced to many nature reservats to create a better bio diversity. This will heal nature and do alot of good for the soil,plants and other animals.
@@deinsilverdrac8695 i lack ?! Hmm so you are adressing the biodiversity issue,as my responsibility?! Its our all responsibility to be good towards nature. And i cant just introduce those species,i obviously dont have those opportunities and resources as a single individual. Imagine if i blamed you for the lack of maintaining the biodiversity in Germany,it doesnt give sense,your logic are the thing that lacks here. If your point is that the European biodiversity needs more of those species your mentioned,i agree. But no reason to point fingers at a individual you dont know over the internet,it says nothing about anything than you and your need to play "better"
@@NoGloryToRats Did i blame you in any way in my message. I just listed what still lacked, and should be brought back As a way to say that there's still much Room for improvements, still a long way to go. So why and how could you feel attacked and blamed when there's not even a single mention of you or any responsability over this in my response ? And I am not german.
@@deinsilverdrac8695 You literally wrote "you" but maybe you ment Denmark in general or something, english are not my first language, anyways true theres still alot of need for improvements not only in Europe but in general in nature, because us humans have fucked alot of nature up!!! Ok you are not German,my mistake with that written,theres nothing wrong about being German at all. Anyways lets hope the politicians will take these natural catastropheres more serious!!!
@@NoGloryToRats You as the country, not an individual, that wouldn't make sense that YOU lack those, no one is entitlted to own a moose and a bear as far as i know, .....altough it would be fucking awesome if it was true i agree, and Europe is full of potential for rewilding, sadly because it have lost much more than some other region but still. we've mannaged to be amongst the best in conservation despite all the farmers and hunters, there's still some issue with lynx, bear and wolves, some hunter and farmer idiots, some dumb politician here and there being against nature (sweden, France, Uk, Germany), but look at what we've made in a century. - wisent went from 20-40 individual in zoo to more than 8000 today. - beavers went from 700 to 1,5 million - wolves are in all the mainland countries, and went from few thousand at most to 20 000. - bears went from less than 4000 to 17 000. - iberian lynx went from 94 to 1700 individuals - 15000 lynx where they went only maybe few hundred back then - there thousand of feral horse and cattle (and even few wild horses) roaming free in all of europe - lots of roe, fallow and red deer -alps marmot, chamoi, ibex, all went from nearly nothing to dozen of thousand or more. - white tailed eagle, from 160 to 18 000 individuals - mute and trumpeter swan, crane, white stork, blakc stork, spoonbill, all of which were very very rare and are now more widespread - same for some birds of prey, eagle owl, osprey, falcon, kite, buzzard etc, and especially vulture, cinerous, griffin and bearded vulture - more moose than before - wild water buffaloes in the Danube and some parc of all Europe - mediterranean seal, merou, marine turtle We can have huge success if we're willing to let it happen, maybe someday, lion will be in Turkey and Greece, while one million wisent roam the continent and leopard the iberian peninsula/caucasus/balkan/anatolia, hunting wapiti, tahr and barbary macaque. herds of feral water buffaloes in the Rhine, moose in the Alps, lynx and wolves in Uk and all bear population connected, while herd of argali would be reintroduced with kulan and saïga to the eastern steppe who knows. but i disagree on one point there's something wrong in being german.........the language.
I think we should have at least 1 million people like him, imagine that there are tens of thousands of people like him in that area of northern Siberia. Or another example of the Amazon, which are the lungs of our planet Earth. . . As long as there are selfish rich people and industry, which is disastrous for us, a small world in this huge universe. We don't have another world right now, one thing is for sure we don't have a future. Great documentary, really great job!
Amazon, which are the lungs of our planet Earth no its not. Oxygen is produced by photosynthesizing organisms that live in the ocean, in fresh water, and on land. These organisms include bacteria, algae and plants. Photosynthesizing algae in the ocean produce around 70% of oxygen in the atmosphere. oxygen will be just fine but biggest issue when amazon goes could be a lot cures we may never find, new medications
I love this, cuts through red tape and just wants to make a practical difference. If this man had some money could you imagine what he would do. We should set up a go fund me for him.
Sergei predicts: ”Bad scenario, very bad scenario, very very bad scenario, absolutely terrible scenario and scenario which nothing discuss. Finally realized only bad scenario” 😆
Brilliant! Best documentary I've seen for a decade. All over the planet is the potential for nature solutions for climate change. Ocean restoration - more whales, more plankton, more krill, more fish. Get rid of the cane toads and fire ants, restore Kakadu National Park and the Danetree. Allow indigenous Australians to restore large scale firestick farming of country. Rewild the highlands of Scotland. This is inspirational intelligence for bioscience.
Are you familiar with the concept of rewilding. A nature conservation method which not only preserve the ecosystem, but restore it. Rewilding Europe website. Rewilding ibera project and website Celtic reptile and amphibian website Knepp wild estate And on youtube you have mossy earth, leave curious and planet wild who talk about lots of different project of nature restoration project, most of which include animal reintroduction.
This a great movie and a great adventure. It's important letting people know that things like those exist. At least it gives me some hope. I've never heard about this guys even living here in Russia. Thanks a lot!🥶🥶🥶
This was a very well put together documentary. I really enjoyed it. It would be really cool to see the woolly mammoth come back. My heart goes out to this man. He’s truly trying to make a major contribution to the globe. ! We all need to think like he does !! Bravo and the documentary 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼
Luke, your tolerance of the condescension and insults (like being accused of never having had a job after enabling a significant fundraiser with your WORK) is astounding. Bravo. EXCEPTIONAL WORK!!! Thank you for your full immersion journalism. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
The problem with permafrost is basically that all structures built on that basement have come to be unstable. Norilsk oil spill tragedy is a good example and all companies and communities living there are in danger. They're using a bit different technology to freeze the land structure is standing, but making biom more diverse in the arctic region is a radical solution to help problem in terms of stopping global warming, best wishes Nikita!
Прекрасные люди , и делают очень благое дело .Как же печально что местное правительство не помогает 😢В целом печально что наше правительство коррупционно очень 😢
Me and my wife were quite gripped by this doc/film. I'm not even particularly "on board" with some of the ideas on "climate change". But the idea of trying to return animal life to this area is really fascinating. I wish them success. And when there is a fund started to promote the purchase and transporting of needed animals to this zone I will contribute. The permafrost preservation idea is convincing.
Trying to stop climate change is like trying to stop the world from turning - it's been going on for millions of years, from ice age to interglacial to ice age to interglacial, humans aren't causing it and humans can't stop it - learning to adapt and prepare is the only solution
Was für ein wunderbarer weiser Mann. Welche richtigen und guten Erkenntnisse er entwickelt hat. Wahnsinn. Gibt dem Mann Geld für Tiere und Zaun! Danke für die Doku.❤❤❤
This was an excellent documentary and what they are trying to do in Siberia reminds me of what Allan Savory is doing in Africa. The same kind of concepts in many ways but just different climates. Bravo on this whole project and film!
What inspirational ingenious endearing legends! - Including the film maker.. The repairs & determination on the road trips - awesome! Loved this documentary 🇦🇺❤❤❤ 🇦🇺❤❤❤🇦🇺
This is fucking awesome! Everyone working for a good cause but still we need money to experiment and make things happen. This should be our relationship with money. Survival-purpose-good experiments/inventions.
Nikita's hypothesis is correct. It has already been established on other parts of the globe - so yes, not the permafrost aspect but Joel Salatin in the U.S. and I'm forgetting the name of the guy in Africa. Herd animals are necessary for grasses to be established and sequester vast amounts of carbon. Also amazing work by SoilFoodWeb.
i have been wondering why the zimovs kind of vanished for the past few years, with only facebook updates on bringing more stock to the park. this is why! i can't wait to watch this, i've been following these guys since i read about them on project drawdown years ago. i have farming experience as well as wildlife and fisheries management education, if i didn't have a physical disability i would go volunteer. so cool.
Well done!! I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. I found it pretty gripping from start to the end. Very good content, filming, conversations... just really excellent!
How about the horses in Nevada? USA, Couldint you make an agreement to take them since they just shoot them, they are wild mustangs. You have to have land and watersource. There are horses nobody wants, do it!! This is exciting to me, Im native american so I love the whole concept of restoration of ecosystems!! Super cool stuff! Nice job so far, the Buffalo trip was soo cool!
Guys I love this video and I love your effort, I am very thankful to the Russian family who are trying to build this park and are working hard to save this world and I am very grateful to that guy from California. Thank you, because of which we got to watch this very beautiful and very interesting video. Friends, I sincerely pray to God to give you the strength to complete this park project and save us all and the whole world from the terrible times ahead. I again pray to God, may he grant you all good health and good success. Thank you 🙏🏻 👍🏻
So his idea behind the Animals 44:00 is that they disturb snow in winter to find food to eat, uncovering the soil, because the snow was an insulator and slowing down the cooling of soil. Meaning animals uncover soil, temperature goes down even more and preserves the permafrost keeping it cool. (If I understood correctly?)
Yes, you can read it in their paper: Protection of Permafrost Soils from Thawing by Increasing Herbivore Density. Basically the soil gets warm in summer and cold in winter. Permafrost stays on if there is a balance between cold and warm. The snow works like a blanket that appears in winter and insulates soil from the cold outside. Animals make this blanket less efficient by compacting it, making it less fluffy.
Best convo ever lmao, "so how's everything going?" - Film maker "so far so good, we caught 10."- son of scientist "how many are you after?" - film maker "10." - son of scientist "=)" - me
I love their commitment amd the doer actions they are taking to make it happen. I wish I could be there to help. I only have my work to offer but I can see their dream in action and I love it!❤
Amazing work! I mean Luke’s work and Zimov’s family! I’m Russian from Siberia, even I’m super excited about such life style and the idea to safe the planet! Luke, you are very giving this film full attention and spend part of your life going through its difficulties . Have less words more emotions!!! Fantastic!!!! Thank you very much for film we can get a touch with such ideas, nature, severity, discomfort and all staff you face!
The documentary is interesting, though it is a shame that the true reason for Zimov's theory, the compressing of the covering of snow to allow temperature decrease of the permafrost with animals, only appears at 45 minutes. I feel like it should have been sooner in the documentary, because for 45 minutes you learn the need for animals, but you don't see why you need them Otherwise, good documentary
A mad man for trying to solve such a big issue on his own, but this also derserves mad respect.

@@deinsilverdrac8695if you know so well how to do it right, i'm sure the Zimovs could use an extra hand...
@@kajakern268
we are not all build for terrain, or cold. and we do not all have the ability to travel half the globe or learn russian.
your immature remark is simply invalid
Humbling. Zimov and his family display such ingenuity and resourcefulness. They clearly love the land they live on, and have the courage to try to preserve it.
One thing i think we should try to train our childreen and all next generations for is to think of yourselves more as custodians of earth and living things, than trying to own and control what was not ment for that.
As a Russian from northern Siberia myself I would like to THANK YOU for drawing attention to this beautiful man and for bringing awareness to this topic. Permafrost thaw is a huge concerning issue there. This man in a pink beret is a true saint, I tell ya.
And when Nikita said that Luke (the director of this documentary) is surprisingly industrious for someone who's never had a job in his life, I knew this must have a reason. If someone from Siberia is saying that a person is not as useless as he/she could be, this is a good indication that this person has gone through something. I wasn't surprised by Luke's childhood story. I think his life experience played a huge role in bringing this amazing documentary into existence. What a guy, hard-working and humble at the same time.
Excellent work.
Agreed, unfortunately the TH-cam algorithm made sure in 8 days it only got like 200K views, which is almost nothing compared to other works of equivalent quality (meaning only Vice subscribers were exposed to it likely due to notifications and maybe a few thousand random viewers) - TH-cam was bought by Google who sold out to corrupt US government, now they censor anything Russian because we can’t have Russian scientists being the heroes solving climate problems in the west. So I don’t know, I am only disappointed by that. This movie is incredible and I gained respect for Vice for not only doing it but for not being sellouts and keeping it real. If this were someone in any other nation it would have millions of views by now but hopefully it will get found by more people.
Best way for russians save the world to stop fucking wars they started

I don't think he is a madman, I think his idea could work, amazing perseverance and starkly beautiful land
I think he's right, and at the very least doing more than any critic of his.
how is adding animals helpful when the ones there already died same factors are still thete
@@twilit the thing is, animals back on the land is the ONLY way to keep that carbon in the soil. We have no choice here. If you use machines to trample the soil it emits more greenhouse gases- the thing we are trying to reduce in the first place. Plus animals have a number of subtle effects on the land and ecosystem that heavy machinery could never match. We just HAVE to repair the ecosystem by putting the lost puzzle pieces back
@@twilit The idea is to "jumpstart" back the ecosystem with some human intervention at first until it is functional again.
Such a magnificent documentary! I read about this park about a year ago and was captivated by the idea. He is not a madman. He is a visionary!
Right!! But prophets are usually called madmen!!
Absolutely!
I am so grateful to these 2 scientists for rising their voices for protection of our planet!! What we can do to support them? We must do something to support such wonderful people and their idea!
You can donate on their website. You can also pledge whole animals.

Amazing documentary, spread the awareness and help these people out. These kind of people should be revered and honored in this world and instead they’re unheard of. Great job bringing this to light.

This is one of the best documentaries i have ever seen!
Thank you for all your are hard works. We can all live a great future. Let's save it!
You have really drawn me in. Before I knew it I was crying real tears over these people. The story took some twists and turns. We watched his son suddenly take charge, after you asked him what was his vision of this project.? Your father has done all he can do. Really superb storytelling at its best. The ultimate question, what are we willing to do for our earth?
Great documentary . Hats off to the mad scientist and his family that are directly backing him with hard labor and support!!
Τhey went from being confronted with scepticism and a slight touch of irony, to being largely acknowledged.
They are ahead of the largest Rewinding project of the world.
Well done Zimovs.
Some people look at me like a madman. Here is a smart and educated man who has been proven to be right, who is just doing his best to accomplish his own goals with so much pushback in so many ways, volunteering his time more or less. Sometimes it's people, uneducated and educated alike, sometimes it's the weather he's fighting against. I respect this man and his family. We all have our dreams, we aren't crazy for trying to make them a reality.
this was an amazing 2.5 hour experience, as an anthropologist in the formation stages i appreciate and applaud the time, energy, and dedication to raising awareness about global sustainability!

This is the best thing I've ever seen from Vice or on film this guy literally is trying to save the world and carry it on his shoulders it's inspirational.If your human and not working or living to build a better place for us how can you be Happy. Most people would never even have the heart or guts to attempt this !?.
The tenacity they have for saving the planet inspires me to continue my work on helping the plants.
Oh, russians Inspiring you? Does also war inspire you?
Help the plant, save the plantlet!
I am really worried about Zimovs sustaining their park now, when the war is happening and all the funding and ties with the world are cut off. It was already a tremendously hard task before the war, i can’t imagine what it would be like today. This problem really needs to be raised. These guys are doing a heroic job for the future of all of us
Do you think you are the first person to have this revolution? Just google them and donate. If you spent any time at all looking into your question you would have found the answer, mong.
Usually scientists keep talking tp each other. Even during the peak of cold war, the powers were still talking to each other and scientists were still going to conferences organized on both sides of the iron curtain (don't confuse it with iron dome, a totally different thing) And although moving resources is now difficult, I don't think that his correspondence with whoever he is in contact suffered.
Too bad Russia is ruled by cleptocrats, who don't give a damn about scientific process, as they can't benefit from it. But hey, where is it different?

Americans forced EU into hard sanctions. Germany last a major energy supplier and became more dependent on LNG from the US and Katar. Than the whole conflict in the middle east broke lose and Katar couldn't supply Germany as much anymore. Left with only the US as a major energy supplier, do you know what the Americans did? They increased the price by 400%
Meanwhile the Russians welcoming to the idea to open NS1 and sell gas to Germany to the market price (before it was around 4 times cheaper for Germany because of old deals). If you have friends like the Americans, the Russians are really your last problem. Because I didn't even mention the US being responsible for blowing up NS2. Biggest scumbags on the planet.
"As hard as this is, as much as they struggle against the universe to make any headway, this could only happen in Russia. In America, even if you were a billionaire, you wouldn't even attempt something like this. It wouldn't be allowed."

Perhaps you are unaware of " evil " Ted Turner & what happened with the promotion of returning Bison 🦬 to the N.American west in the latter 1980s & 1990s.There are now 50,000 + Bison , prior to the 80s there were ? A few 1000
? There was an American scientist who suggested returning Bison herds to the ranges they thrived in for hundreds of yrs prior to the 1840s when USA policy became ; " Wipe out the Buffalo & you wipe out the Native American food source " And so it was ....And here we are ...Just about 7 generations later....
Native American wisdom speaks of thinking of the 7th generation before embarking on a path.
It seems modern folk are delivered a 7 sec sound byte that they should then decide to purchase something in 7 min
Get it delivered to them within 7 days ,
Play with it for 7 hrs ...Gradually get bored with it in 7 wks as it loses its novelty , doesn't do what it was supposed to , or breaks & is not made to be repaired, So , 7 mons later it is another piece of junk in a landfill ‼️
7 generations ❓ How can we even 🤔 THINK 🤔 about 7 generations , when 7 years in an ETERNITY❓

This is one of the best documentaries ive ever seen..but mostly because its got a allmost contageous vibe to it and you really want them to make it this time. I also tought its very funny..
It's a shame this has so little views, this is fascinating AF
i think views only count as views if someone watches the video fully... but still it's a fair amount now. still, i think a lot more people should see it!
Huge appreciation to this man for his genius efforts. Sadly none of the billion rich politicians or capitalists will spend even a dime on such projects that might hinder their mad hunger for money. We, as citizens should be aware whom we are electing and especially it is on us to think about our future and the coming ones.
You realize that most renewable energy production is privately owned. It is fossil fuels that governments bend backwards for.
This documentary was as long as their trek across Siberia and I couldn't stop watching. Loved every minute of it.
Best 2 hours spent. So wholesome and hopeful. This man is a complete person anyone can be
Well i said at first, "I'm not watching 2 and half hours right now but Ill start it"That was 2 and half hours ago. It was great. The mission was one that needs a spot light for awareness and attention and action. The place was great to remind the world that people like them live there. All of Russia is not made of the same material as Pufin and so to have empathy still. The characters were fascinating. Their goals and intentions and the whys of that are something all should strive to aim for if humility is of mind. The film maker was also very much a part of the story and that also made the film more revealing as we see how he changed with the time and experience. But what I'm not sure he may understand but his involvement I believe is the reason they got noticed and supported on a grander scale and had it not been for him motivating that I think the old man would have thrown in the towel eventually. At the end of the film he actually looked younger and happy and had a pep in his step that wasnt there the first half of the film. I hope his son raises his daughters in the middle of it all and teaches them everything hes learned so that they will have the knowledge love and dedication to continue the work their grandfather started. (dont ever get them a smart phone, it makes people stupid) a desk top for all the necessities. The generations that were born into this world of smart phones, that think a flip phone is from the olden days are the kids that halt in mental growth the minute a phone is put into their hands, have become burdens. We need people that interact with the physical world. People too are herd animals(many in more ways than one) but like bison begin to get sick and die when separated from affection.
Make choices where in the long run your decision was a benefit to something necessary. Waste no opportunity to make a difference that matters for those that their parents havent even been born yet. The better future we can guarantee for them is a life lived well

You can still go to Russia now. You just go through Turkey, and maybe first apply for a visa and get an invitation from a citizen.
Thank you for this documentary. It's been awhile since I've watched VICE. For once in a long time this was a refreshing, politically neutral and crazy interesting video.I'm happy there are people like Zimov and Nikita and family in the world. Thank you Luke.
Greetings from Denmark! Listen to Niels,hes a really clever person! And mad respect to the project! Here in Denmark the Bison have been introduced to many nature reservats to create a better bio diversity. This will heal nature and do alot of good for the soil,plants and other animals.
You still lack
Elk
Brown Bear
Lynx
Auroch
Wild horse
And many more
Like Germany and most of central and western Europe
@@deinsilverdrac8695
i lack ?! Hmm so you are adressing the biodiversity issue,as my responsibility?! Its our all responsibility to be good towards nature. And i cant just introduce those species,i obviously dont have those opportunities and resources as a single individual. Imagine if i blamed you for the lack of maintaining the biodiversity in Germany,it doesnt give sense,your logic are the thing that lacks here. If your point is that the European biodiversity needs more of those species your mentioned,i agree. But no reason to point fingers at a individual you dont know over the internet,it says nothing about anything than you and your need to play "better"
@@NoGloryToRats
Did i blame you in any way in my message.
I just listed what still lacked, and should be brought back
As a way to say that there's still much Room for improvements, still a long way to go.
So why and how could you feel attacked and blamed when there's not even a single mention of you or any responsability over this in my response ?
And I am not german.
@@deinsilverdrac8695
You literally wrote "you" but maybe you ment Denmark in general or something, english are not my first language, anyways true theres still alot of need for improvements not only in Europe but in general in nature, because us humans have fucked alot of nature up!!!
Ok you are not German,my mistake with that written,theres nothing wrong about being German at all. Anyways lets hope the politicians will take these natural catastropheres more serious!!!
@@NoGloryToRats
You as the country, not an individual, that wouldn't make sense that YOU lack those, no one is entitlted to own a moose and a bear as far as i know, .....altough it would be fucking awesome if it was true
i agree, and Europe is full of potential for rewilding, sadly because it have lost much more than some other region but still.
we've mannaged to be amongst the best in conservation despite all the farmers and hunters, there's still some issue with lynx, bear and wolves, some hunter and farmer idiots, some dumb politician here and there being against nature (sweden, France, Uk, Germany), but look at what we've made in a century.
- wisent went from 20-40 individual in zoo to more than 8000 today.
- beavers went from 700 to 1,5 million
- wolves are in all the mainland countries, and went from few thousand at most to 20 000.
- bears went from less than 4000 to 17 000.
- iberian lynx went from 94 to 1700 individuals
- 15000 lynx where they went only maybe few hundred back then
- there thousand of feral horse and cattle (and even few wild horses) roaming free in all of europe
- lots of roe, fallow and red deer
-alps marmot, chamoi, ibex, all went from nearly nothing to dozen of thousand or more.
- white tailed eagle, from 160 to 18 000 individuals
- mute and trumpeter swan, crane, white stork, blakc stork, spoonbill, all of which were very very rare and are now more widespread
- same for some birds of prey, eagle owl, osprey, falcon, kite, buzzard etc, and especially vulture, cinerous, griffin and bearded vulture
- more moose than before
- wild water buffaloes in the Danube and some parc of all Europe
- mediterranean seal, merou, marine turtle
We can have huge success if we're willing to let it happen, maybe someday, lion will be in Turkey and Greece, while one million wisent roam the continent and leopard the iberian peninsula/caucasus/balkan/anatolia, hunting wapiti, tahr and barbary macaque.
herds of feral water buffaloes in the Rhine, moose in the Alps, lynx and wolves in Uk and all bear population connected, while herd of argali would be reintroduced with kulan and saïga to the eastern steppe who knows.
but i disagree on one point there's something wrong in being german.........the language.
Incredible watch. I loved every minute of this. I am going to donate to the park! Such important work.
This documentary needs an award
I think we should have at least 1 million people like him, imagine that there are tens of thousands of people like him in that area of northern Siberia. Or another example of the Amazon, which are the lungs of our planet Earth. . . As long as there are selfish rich people and industry, which is disastrous for us, a small world in this huge universe. We don't have another world right now, one thing is for sure we don't have a future. Great documentary, really great job!
Amazon, which are the lungs of our planet Earth no its not. Oxygen is produced by photosynthesizing organisms that live in the ocean, in fresh water, and on land. These organisms include bacteria, algae and plants. Photosynthesizing algae in the ocean produce around 70% of oxygen in the atmosphere. oxygen will be just fine but biggest issue when amazon goes could be a lot cures we may never find, new medications
I love this, cuts through red tape and just wants to make a practical difference. If this man had some money could you imagine what he would do. We should set up a go fund me for him.
Agreed. If that development happens, can Vice add a link?

Allow indigenous Australians to restore large scale firestick farming of country. Rewild the highlands of Scotland. This is inspirational intelligence for bioscience.

These folks are far from crazy. Their vision is much clearer than the rest of us. I wish I was as "crazy " as these trail blazers.
Wow, I've never heard about Pleistocene Park living in Russia. Thank you Luke for such a great documentary.
The problem with permafrost is basically that all structures built on that basement have come to be unstable. Norilsk oil spill tragedy is a good example and all companies and communities living there are in danger. They're using a bit different technology to freeze the land structure is standing, but making biom more diverse in the arctic region is a radical solution to help problem in terms of stopping global warming, best wishes Nikita!

Wow, so great. The best documentary this year, hands down. Thank you Vice and Thank you, Mr Luke
Me and my wife were quite gripped by this doc/film. I'm not even particularly "on board" with some of the ideas on "climate change". But the idea of trying to return animal life to this area is really fascinating. I wish them success. And when there is a fund started to promote the purchase and transporting of needed animals to this zone I will contribute. The permafrost preservation idea is convincing.
absolutely agree!!
This guy is so smart and his dedication is admirable as all hell. Commendable. Please, keep up the hard work.
This was exactly the kind of story I wanted to hear, thanks vice! So fascinating.
People crazy enough to believe they can change the world are the ones who do. Massive respect to these men and what they do!
This was great. I wish it had more views. Maybe they will come maybe they won't. I am just glad it was made and I'm glad vice supported the filmmaker.
I use fb just to share intelligent and life changes documentaries, that’s one way for exposure.
this guy is one of the most sane people i have ever come across.
Trying to stop climate change is like trying to stop the world from turning - it's been going on for millions of years, from ice age to interglacial to ice age to interglacial, humans aren't causing it and humans can't stop it - learning to adapt and prepare is the only solution

Watching you guys grow and get old on Vice has been a pleasure. My dream was to work for Vice in my younger days ❤💪
This is fucking awesome! Everyone working for a good cause but still we need money to experiment and make things happen. This should be our relationship with money. Survival-purpose-good experiments/inventions.
I like how the first part of the movie focuses on Zimov senior, and the second part is all about Zimov junior.
Nikita's hypothesis is correct. It has already been established on other parts of the globe - so yes, not the permafrost aspect but Joel Salatin in the U.S. and I'm forgetting the name of the guy in Africa. Herd animals are necessary for grasses to be established and sequester vast amounts of carbon. Also amazing work by SoilFoodWeb.
i have been wondering why the zimovs kind of vanished for the past few years, with only facebook updates on bringing more stock to the park. this is why! i can't wait to watch this, i've been following these guys since i read about them on project drawdown years ago. i have farming experience as well as wildlife and fisheries management education, if i didn't have a physical disability i would go volunteer. so cool.
There's something about the way Russian classical music speaks to my soul as a man who grew up in a country Tennessee town.
What a great doc. Sergei and Nikita (and their teams and families) are heroes of a sort who are not appreciated in their time. True Grit.
Love expressed by animals is like love expressed by children- pure and unadulterated.
Well done!! I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. I found it pretty gripping from start to the end. Very good content, filming, conversations... just really excellent!
This guy, Luke I guess, knows how to tell a fucking story man. I can't turn it off. Well done
This gave me soo much motivation, you have been shooting from 2013, well done, i am very much interested in seeing more of your work
How about the horses in Nevada? USA, Couldint you make an agreement to take them since they just shoot them, they are wild mustangs.
You have to have land and watersource. There are horses nobody wants, do it!! This is exciting to me, Im native american so I love the whole concept of restoration of ecosystems!! Super cool stuff! Nice job so far, the Buffalo trip was soo cool!
Guys I love this video and I love your effort, I am very thankful to the Russian family who are trying to build this park and are working hard to save this world and I am very grateful to that guy from California. Thank you, because of which we got to watch this very beautiful and very interesting video.

Best wishes for every little and big succes.
So his idea behind the Animals 44:00 is that they disturb snow in winter to find food to eat, uncovering the soil, because the snow was an insulator and slowing down the cooling of soil. Meaning animals uncover soil, temperature goes down even more and preserves the permafrost keeping it cool. (If I understood correctly?)
Yes, you can read it in their paper: Protection of Permafrost Soils from Thawing by Increasing Herbivore Density.
Basically the soil gets warm in summer and cold in winter. Permafrost stays on if there is a balance between cold and warm. The snow works like a blanket that appears in winter and insulates soil from the cold outside. Animals make this blanket less efficient by compacting it, making it less fluffy.
This documentary is very well done!

this needs more attention 😭, why does this video only have 20k views after 9h
This is one of the best documentaries I’ve watched to date. Brilliant 🎉
The documentary is interesting, though it is a shame that the true reason for Zimov's theory, the compressing of the covering of snow to allow temperature decrease of the permafrost with animals, only appears at 45 minutes. I feel like it should have been sooner in the documentary, because for 45 minutes you learn the need for animals, but you don't see why you need them
Otherwise, good documentary
