"Operation Saimaa Seal" is a documentary film about the Saimaa ringed seal, its captivating habitat in Lake Saimaa, and the unwavering efforts of researchers who aim to save this critically endangered species. Climate change poses a grim future for the Saimaa ringed seal. The seal requires snow and ice to reproduce, but in the future there may not be snow nor ice on Lake Saimaa during winters. What will happen to the seal when climate change threatens to destroy its living conditions? Researchers have a solution: seal boxes. But what kind of artificial nest will the seal accept as its home?
