🔥 Fire and Deforestation Alerts (2021–2025)
Between 2021–2025, Vurra recorded 359 fire alerts, with most activity in the late November to February dry season. No major deforestation alerts were detected in October 2025 a promising sign of stability.

Part 7: Chernobyl reborn-Thriving wildlife in Chernobyl Exclusion Zone
From the #US to #Greece and from #Russia to #Australia, the incidence of #ForestFires erupts from time to time.
Forests get scorched, wildlife is thrown to devastation, birds out-migrate and the place looks lifeless for months and sometimes years.
But nature has its own way of healing and it always does. Green shoots of life emerge, #wildlife return, chirping of birds is once again heard and the ecosystem drags itself to normalcy.
Once the most #radioactive spot on earth, the #ChernobylExclusionZone (#CEZ), is also undergoing these magical transformations.
Wildlife has not only returned but flourishing where humans were even skeptical of looking back. Chernobyl has now become a living laboratory.
“The CEZ is a fascinating example of nature’s power to rebound from degradation,” said Tim Christophersen, head of the United Nations Environment Programme’s Nature for Climate Branch.
The area now represents the third-largest nature reserve in mainland Europe and has become an iconic experiment in rewilding, the @UNEP report added.
A #census of wildlife in the exclusion zone has revealed that the number of moose, roe deer, red deer and wild boar living in the zone are similar to numbers in nearby uncontaminated nature reserves.
In fact, the census data on wolves in CEZ indicated that they are seven times greater in number than those living in the nearby reserves.
But, how? Radiation did not end lives; it ended human interference in the region. This made a conducive environment for the wildlife to flourish in the so-called accidental reserve.
Apart from this many studies have found out that some species have developed cancer-resistant genes through natural selection.
Research has identified specific parts of their genome that are resilient to cancer-causing effects, and their immune systems show similarities to those of cancer patients undergoing radiation treatment.
Know about #BlueDogsOfChernobyl in the comments.
Recently, blue dogs have been spotted to be in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone by #DogsofChernobyl team of the non-profit organization, @CleanFutureFund .
They said, “We do not know the reason, and we are attempting to catch them so we can find out what is happening". Most likely they're getting into some sort of chemical. Although the reason is still not clear, but experts are saying it might be because they got in contact with some chemical.
Similar incident has also been reported in the former Soviet Union. In 2021, residents of #Dzerzhinsk, Russia, were shocked to find a pack of bright blue dogs roaming the streets near an abandoned chemical plant.
Apparently, it was because they got in contact with chemicals, like copper sulphate from a nearby factory.
The thriving life within the Exclusion Zone stands as a compelling symbol that nature heals, science evolves, and humanity must move forward.
