Why Ukraine is rewilding in the heat of war
Reported byPositive News ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Rewilding Ukraine has reintroduced 63 Konik horses, 20 red deer, 30 fallow deer, 20 water buffalo, 10 Hucul horses, and 35 kulan (wild donkeys) across 600 hectares of formerly ploughed grassland in the Tarutino Steppe, restoring native ecosystem function while reducing wildfire risk during active conflict.
While great news, that Ukraine even has any bandwidth for environmental conservation despite being under siege, the environmental consequences of this war are calamitous.
