Living in the Caucasian Mountains - (Ცხოველივით) Like an Animal [FILM]

“Like an Animal” (or Ცხოველივით) is the story of Georgian conservationist, Nika Kerdikoshvili, who works to protect the Caucasian Tur in Lagodekhi National Park, in the Kakheti region of Georgia. The Tur is a wild goat species living in the Caucasian Mountains, whose numbers have suffered greatly in recent decades to poaching. Nika, who grew up as a hunter, had some dramatic experiences with wildlife in his youth which altered his path. He went on to trade his rifle for a camera, and uses his mastery of tracking and bushcraft to do crucial conservation work. Nika's work is centred around the Lagodekhi National Park. This interview with Nika takes place in Georgia's capital city, Tbilisi. The Greater Caucasian mountain range spans from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea - and acts as a land border between Russia and the Caucasian countries of Georgia and Azerbaijan. 0:00 - Introduction 2:49 - Part I: Lagodekhi 5:17 - Part II: The Caucasian Tur 10:09 - Part III: "Nature is my tranquilliser" 16:05 - Part IV: The death of the bear 27:06 - Nika's philosophy 29:00 - Thank YOU!
