The fact that scientists have detected in the Chernobyl Forest, shocked the world! Bashny.Net

In Ukraine there is a project whose goal is to study the wildlife around Chernobyl. Scientists want to find out what animals have settled in the contaminated territories. In contrast to the Chernobyl exclusion zone man was more deadly to animals. The population of wild animals is insane amount soared to over the past 30 years. Now here are all infested moose, deer and wolves.





Researchers believe that it is the lack of human population growth has led to wild mammals, and no radiation.

The British publication quoted a report published in the journal Current Biology. The researchers used a helicopter and fixed tracks in the snow. So they wanted to track wildlife in the exclusion zone.

It turned out that the abandoned area back even rare species, such as the European lynx. They also documented the emergence of European polar bear, which has not been seen in the area nearly a century.





The area also recorded a large population of wolves, wild boar, deer and foxes.

According to Professor Jim Smith of the University of Portsmunta, the accident did not cause serious damage to the environment. "The case created a nature reserve. We are not saying that the radiation - it is good for animals. But the people and the exploitation of the landscape - even worse, "- he said.





Distribution of wildlife in the exclusion zone is well documented. So, in 2013, the year the police and hunters in Belarus have started a special hunting of wolves from the exclusion zone, which carried out raids at Gomel.





In November last year, researchers have arranged 42 cameras on the Ukrainian side to control the growth of wildlife populations.





The annual project that is about to close in December, shows new images of endangered species, including rare species such as the bison, bears and rare horses.
