In the heart of Siberia, deep within the ancient waters of Lake Baikal, lives a mysterious guardian of its ecosystem – the Baikal seal. This unique species of seal is found nowhere else on Earth and serves as a living barometer of the lake`s ecological health. Every fluctuation in the underwater world, from the tiniest algae to schools of fish, echoes in the fate of the seal, whose presence touches every layer of this fragile natural hierarchy.
