Spending the weekend immersed in Olga Patrusheva's literature work, "Baikal!"
Lake Baikal, the world's deepest and oldest freshwater lake, is a treasure trove of natural beauty, biodiversity, and cultural heritage. Two sisters, Ania and Varya Kendel, are set to share their experiences of this unique lake in their upcoming book, A Journey Book.
Ania Kendel, a Russian twin artist, first conceived the idea for the book during a kayak trip along Lake Baikal's western shore two years ago. This 400-kilometer journey provided her with a unique perspective of the lake, inspiring her to create a book that would capture its essence.
The book, Look: Baikal! A Journey, is a photographic and narrative exploration of Lake Baikal. It takes readers on a visual and descriptive journey around the lake, highlighting its importance as a site of biodiversity, spiritual value, and a testament to the planet's geological history.
While the focus of the book seems to be on the lake's beauty and character, it also discusses the problems facing Lake Baikal today. The sisters aim to raise awareness about the lake's environmental status and the need for its protection.
If you wish to contribute to the conservation efforts for Lake Baikal, there are several ways you can help. Supporting sustainable tourism, participating in or donating to conservation projects, reducing pollution, particularly plastic and industrial waste, and advocating for policies that limit harmful activities around the lake are all effective measures. Engaging with local environmental organizations, spreading awareness about Lake Baikal's ecological challenges, and supporting reforestation or clean-up initiatives can also make a difference.
A Journey Book is not just a guide for those wanting to discover Lake Baikal, but also a call to action for its preservation. The book includes personal experiences and illustrations from Ania Kendel's trips, as well as facts about the lake's history, inhabitants, and routes of varying difficulty for exploring this magnificent body of water.
Lake Baikal needs our help due to the numerous problems it faces today. By reading and sharing A Journey Book, you can help spread awareness about the lake's importance and inspire others to take action in its protection.
