Vasily Fedosenko is a Reuters photographer based in Minsk, Belarus. In this picture gallery, he recounts one of his regular tours of the nature reserve that has grown up in the forest area contaminated by the Chernobyl nuclear reactor explosionStill inhospitable to humans, the Chernobyl "exclusion zone" - a contaminated 30-km radius around the site of the nuclear reactor explosion of April 26, 1986 - is now a nature reserve and teems with animals

Yeah this is great news, admittedly very suprising but still. Being a Reuters photographer based in Minsk must be a really interesting job.

Raptors are the most majestic & enduring creatures ruling the skies. Thankfully, decades later, they're back from the brink of extinction despite DDT wiping out their food supply around the world. And here's another amazing example of nature's resilience, especially for raptors, despite the odds.
