Beavers chew down trees, but they plant more. While they protect their habitat in the river valley forest, the precious species needs more people like the "Princess of the Beavers" as the guardians of nature.

Home to a diverse fauna and multiple types of vegetation, Altai Mountains represent the most complete sequence of altitudinal vegetation zones in central Siberia. The 16-episode Altai Mountains Series brings a glimpse of the magnificent biodiversity in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
