I Capture The Life Of A Lone Former Soldier Saving Animals From Poachers

ADVERTISEMENT

Alexey Sedoy is a former officer in the Russian Special Forces. For the last two years, he has been living a solitary life in his very own private sanctuary in the middle of the woods, devoted to the care and saving of young moose. Although he does not wish to reminisce about the war of his past, he has found himself in the midst of a very different kind of war, a clear and present war that fills his life every single day. A war against poachers who have killed five out of every 11 baby moose. With the generous help of kind and caring people, Alexey has been able to raise funds for the construction of a security fence around part of the park to protect the endangered moose.

Alexey’s undying dream and ultimate goal is to build a well-protected sanctuary and rescue center for wild animals where people from all over the world can visit and admire these strong and magnificent animals. And as he says: “There are no impossible tasks”. But he needs help—physical and financial.

Meanwhile, no matter the day of the week or whether it is the weekend or a holiday, come winter, rain or snow, Alexey is dedicated to the work of tending to and caring for the baby moose, whether it is preparing their milk, cutting and clearing branches, or anything that the baby moose may require. Taking on the task of having to feed the baby moose every four hours for 16 to 18 hours a day, Alexey understands that without this type of attention and care, the baby moose will not survive. It is with courage and love that Alexey has taken on the role of mother, father, or guardian and protector of these beautiful animals.

    I love learning there are always heroes to be found. Mostly hidden, quietly saving the world

    He is in process of establishing one. Meanwhile, in his Instagram Alexey is trying to raise funds to build a fence around a larger area so that the moose have enough food base and they can graze on their own.

    I am so sorry he has to do everything alone. It's a lifetime dedication that only the strongest can carry on. I wish him all the best. Respect!
