Reserve Askania

Askaniya - Nova is the largest steppe wildlife sanctuary in Europe. It is located in south part of Ukraine, not far from Crimea peninsula.In pre - revolutionary times Askania-Nova was a prospering central estate of baron von Falz-Fein. This German colonist had built railway, telegraph, airport, and by virtue of unique irrigation system had established arboretum park and wildlife sanctuary. It was a real oasis in the middle of wild steppe, where animals from all over the world were living without obstructions.In order to underline this unique beauty, we created documentary film about life of animals and people in wildlife sanctuary Askaniya-Nova. Movie action is disclosed via three protagonists, whose destinies were entangled because of wildlife sanctuary.
