Chernobyl Wildlife Thriving

Brown bears have returned to the region after more than a century, while wolf populations now prowl the vast no-man's-land spanning Ukraine and Belarus.

The thriving ecosystem challenges previous assumptions about the long-term impact of radiation on wildlife.

A large-scale multimedia exhibition on the disaster is set to open in Kyiv with EU support, highlighting these unexpected ecological developments.

Researchers continue to study how these animals have adapted to the environment, providing fresh insights into nature's resilience.
