The story of Tabatskuri, Nika Paposhvili, and the Velvet Scoter.
On a mountainous, volcanic plateau in southern Georgia, a long lost treasure has been found. This treasure, the velvet scoter (garieli), a diving duck, the last of its kind in the entire Caucasus.
In 2016, Nika Paposhvili was a young, ambitious masters student at Ilia State University when he took on the challenge to go on a wild duck chase across the lakes of Georgia. His discovery of Tabatskuri’s velvet scoters has changed everything for Nika, as he has gone on to commit his life to this bird, and support its battle against extinction.
Now a PhD candidate, for the last 6 years, Nika has worked year-round to protect this small and highly vulnerable population. Whilst protecting scoter life in Tabatskuri, he balances family life in the capital, Tbilisi - where his young family both cheer him on, and excitedly await his returns.
