On April 26th 1986, reactor n°4 at the Lenin power station in Chernobyl went out of control, leading to the consequences we all know: radioactive fallouts contaminating huge pieces of land, the creation of a 30-km-radius exclusion zone around the power station. In this now forbidden zone, the wild fauna and flora were left to their fate. What happened to this wildlife, freed from human pressure but immersed in the Chernobyl radioactive "hell"?

For scientists, the Chernobyl forbidden zone has become an open-air laboratory, a tragically unforeseen but huge laboratory. This is a strange no-man's land where geochemists, zoologists and radioecologists are making disconcerting discoveries.
