#WorldRewildingDay
#ChornobylExclusionZone is one of the most peculiar areas of #WildPolesia where passive #rewilding has been going on for decades. Having emerged as a result of a terrible disaster, it's now a valuable source of scientific data on the process, patterns and effects of rewilding.

A #cameratrap captured a #lynx and a #deer, its potential prey, passing in the same place just a few minutes apart.
#WildPolesia harbours many #wilderness areas where #ecosystems are healthy & self-regulated, including thanks to a stable predator–prey balance.

Unlike in many parts of #Europe, #wolves have never completely disappeared from #WildPolesia despite habitats' fragmentation and unrestricted hunting.
We are studying the local #wolf population to improve the #conservation of this charismatic species.
