Chernobyl wildlife thrives 40 years later

Scientists studying the contaminated land have found that the absence of human activity has allowed various species to flourish despite the radiation.

The exclusion zone now serves as a unique living laboratory for understanding how ecosystems adapt to extreme environmental changes.

Rare footage has captured 'fish cities' and wild herds roaming free in areas once deemed uninhabitable.

This rewilding process offers a testament to the survival spirit of nature in the face of human-made catastrophe.
