Pavel Lukyanenko lives in the town of Noyabrsk in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. For many years he has been recording the voices of migratory birds in the Yamal tundra. Waders, a mosquito net, sound recording equipment — and now his hunt begins. He shares his "loot" online, including on music streaming. These recordings add to the base of scientific knowledge about birds and their migration routes, helping ecologists to study and protect nature, and also enable people anywhere in the world to hear the voice of Pavel's native land.
