Russian president Vladimir Putin (right) preparing to take off on a Flight of Hope. This was part of a project to guide captive-bred Siberian cranes (Grus leucogeranus) along their migration route. Putin took part in two flights helping to guide the cranes. The cranes follow because they have been imprinted with a person in a white jumpsuit as being their parent. Other pilots and researchers took over for the rest of the tip to Central Asia. Photographed in the Jamelo-Nenetsky region of Russia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the moment Russian President Vladimir Putin prepares to embark on a remarkable Flight of Hope. In an extraordinary project aimed at aiding captive-bred Siberian cranes along their migration route, Putin took part in two flights to guide these endangered birds. The cranes, imprinted with a person in a white jumpsuit as their parent figure, follow this unusual sight through the sky. Located in the Jamelo-Nenetsky region of Russia, this awe-inspiring image showcases Putin's dedication to avian research and conservation efforts. As one of the world's critically endangered species, the Siberian crane population relies heavily on human assistance for survival. The photograph not only highlights Putin's role as a leader but also sheds light on his commitment to protecting our natural world. This daring stunt serves as both publicity for this vital cause and an opportunity for groundbreaking research. While Putin played an integral part in guiding these majestic creatures during takeoff, other pilots and researchers continued leading them throughout their journey towards Central Asia. Their collaboration demonstrates how collective efforts can make a significant impact when it comes to preserving our planet's most vulnerable species. Through this powerful image captured by RIA NOVOSTI/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we witness hope taking flight alongside President Vladimir Putin—a symbol of determination and compassion towards safeguarding our environment and its magnificent inhabitants.
