On March 11, 2011, Japan suffered one of the greatest disasters in its history. The earthquakes and tsunami directly affected the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant and a large amount of radioactive material was released into the atmosphere. The effects of this nuclear disaster continue that there has been none of human’s appearances since then, but wild animals survive in abandoned areas and the green cover is increasing.
Immediately after the radioactive leak, the Japanese authorities evacuated all the residents away from the area immediately. However, the fact that the region was evacuated for humans does not mean the same for animals. Scientists working at the University of Georgia in the United States, have installed camera systems in almost every region of the nuclear disaster and wanted to determine what happened in the region. They gathering various images in a total of 120 days. Images of more than 46 thousand wild boars were captured. More than 26,000 of them were shot in a completely uninhabited area, while about 13,000 images were obtained from areas close to living spaces.
Scientists now want to carry out studies to understand the genetic condition of the animals in the area. However, the return of animals and plants in Fukushima has proved that without human’s interference, nature has its own way to keep a place for every animal and plants.
