I just watched a PBS documentary about the wolves and other wildlife of the Chernobyl area, 25 years after the disaster. It seems that the enormous exclusion area (1,100 sq miles) has become a wildlife sanctuary. The whole area is returning to its wild state. With the help of beaver activity, the drained marshes have become marshes. Everywhere is flourishing.

This link doesn't work, there is a working link in my next post.
I have posted the link to the online site. It is worth watching.
Nature seems to be able to overcome anything we can do to it. I suspect that there have been consequences from the radiation, but the strong animals and plants have survived. We might want to think about that. Mother Nature can do very well without us, in fact better.
