Why the lynx
The National Bank explained that in the past the lynx was a familiar predator for Polesia. But due to the development of forests and mass hunting for the sake of valuable fur, the lynx became a rare animal listed in the Red Book of Ukraine, as well as officially recognized in Europe as being under threat of extinction.
A chance for the revival of the species appeared in the Chernobyl zone. After all, the 30-kilometer exclusion zone and the zone of unconditional resettlement, on which the Chernobyl radiation and ecological biosphere reserve has been operating since April 26, 2016, have turned into a kind of reserve for the reproduction of not only typical, but also rare Red Book representatives of the animal world.
Eurasian lynx is among them.
