Chornobyl: Rewilding three decades after the accident w/ Professor Germán Orizaola

Professor Germán Orizaola (gorizaola.wordpress.com/), is a Senior Researcher (Ramón y Cajal Program) at the Zoology Unit, Department of Biology of Organisms and Systems, University of Oviedo, and the IMIB-Biodiversity Research Institute, a joint centre between the University of Oviedo, the Spanish Research Council (CSIC), and the Principality of Asturias, Spain
Professor Orizaola's research interests are the effects and adaptation patterns to low-dose radiation in wildlife and evolutionary ecology of life-history strategies. He has been studying the effects of radiation on the wildlife of the Chornobyl exclusion area. The area has become a haven for wildlife and one of the largest natural laboratories on the subject of rewilding. Professor Orizaola's work has recently come into the international spotlight with his work on how tree frogs quickly adapted to live the exclusion area (www.euronews.com/green/2022/1....
In this presentation, professor Orizaola will talk about his work in the rewilding efforts at Chornoby and how the local biome has changed due to the accident.
