Have you ever wondered what happens when people abandon 1,600 square miles as a result of radioactivity? Normally you would not think that, but apparently, wildlife runs wild. A recent study that focuses on animals in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone has shown that the once wasteland is presently filled with roe and red deer, wild boar, wolves and elk. Researchers performed aerial surveys in the Exclusion Zone during the winter months between 1987, a year after the disaster occurred and 1997.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who said that history doesn't teach the ignorant?
Although we wish for a world where everyone learned from history, learning from our mistakes is more important than living in that ideal world.
You can't learn anything better than trying it wrong.
The only real mistake is not trying to ensure you do it right the first time.
You'll eventually discover why you made the changes if you continue to make them.
You may even find that you could do it better the second time.
It doesn't mean that you shouldn't continue to try. You've learned a lot.
You may not be able to avoid making mistakes, but you can certainly minimize them. That's what makes the difference between success or failure.
Recognizing your mistakes is the first step. Next, look at your mistakes objectively and ask yourself "What have I learned?"
If you're honest with yourself, you'll realize that your mistakes are just lessons. These are opportunities to learn.
Thomas Edison had to go through the exact same thing. He failed many times before he finally invented the light bulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, each failure was an opportunity to improve his design.
He invented the best form of lighting that is popular today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your failures. Take advantage of them.
Then try again.
Is it possible to learn from the past and not repeat past mistakes?
History repeats itself because we keep making similar mistakes over and again. We fail to learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle for mediocrity.
The same old stories are what repeat history. We have been taught to believe there are unchanging laws and fixed truths. They cannot be changed.
This makes it difficult to think critically. It prevents us from questioning authority. From challenging assumptions. We don't grow if we don’t question. And when we don't grow, we stagnate. And when we stagnate, we repeat the same mistakes.
However, history does not repeat itself because we keep making the same mistakes. History repeats itself because we don't learn from our errors and keep making the same mistakes.
You can end the cycle of history repetition by changing the way that you view the world. By understanding that nothing is permanent, you can see the possibilities. Nothing is permanent. All things are in constant flux.
To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. Accept that things might go wrong. Accepting that failure may be possible. Accepting that failure is possible.
Accept the fact that you might not reach your goals. But to accept that, you should strive to improve anyway.
You will always remain stuck in the past if you hold on to certainty. If you hold on to the belief that there are certain truths, you'll never be able to move forward.
You can't control your destiny. You can't control progress unless you let go.
What are three things you can learn from history?
There are numerous examples throughout history that demonstrate how we can learn and improve from our mistakes. They can be applied to today's business challenges.
Our past has shown us that there's always another way. There is always someone out there who thinks outside the box and takes risks that make them stand apart.
History also shows us that it's often the underdogs who succeed. You can look back at those times when the underdog won.
Take a look back at the past to learn from it and make improvements for the future. Learn from others' failures and successes.
These lessons can help increase your success rates.
What can we learn about Abraham Lincoln?
Abraham Lincoln said, “I am slow to understand; very fast to forget.”
He was conscious of how important it was for him to keep learning. He also understood that he would eventually have to learn new habits.
The same applies to our businesses. No matter how meticulously we plan for success and what our goals are, there will be moments when we get stuck in a rut.
It is crucial to continue to learn and grow. If we do nothing else, we must continue to learn, even after we reach the pinnacle of success.
Lincoln had the right mindset. He recognized that while he could become more effective in his business, he couldn't stop learning.
There are two types entrepreneurs. They are those who are busy and those that stay smart.
Those who stay active focus on growing their business. They spend their time on product development and marketing, as well as customer service.
They may feel accomplished, but they are often missing the mark. They won't be able to sustain their growth if they don't also work smarter.
What is the difference between successful entrepreneurs and average entrepreneurs? The ability to quickly adapt to changing circumstances.
Successful entrepreneurs are always looking for ways to improve the products and services they offer when faced with difficulties.
However, most entrepreneurs stick to old-fashioned methods that no longer work. They won't change until their business is destroyed.
It is essential to learn both the art of adapting and self-reflection in order for success.

How To
What can humanity learn from our ancestors' past mistakes?
We've been there before, and we'll be back. Learning from history is a good thing. It may even help humanity survive another crisis.
It is possible to make it through this life if you keep your mind open and learn from the lessons.
The problem is when we fail to learn from the past and refuse to acknowledge that human nature hasn't changed much since the beginning of time.
The wisdom of the old ways is vast, but we tend not to pay attention because they contradict our beliefs. So instead of embracing changes, we find difficult, we cling to the familiar.
But the world changes and our relationship with it is changing. The environment we live in is getting more complicated, which means that there are more problems to be solved.
This means that we also need to make changes. This makes us more susceptible to failure, as we won't have the same strategies that worked previously.
Doing that can cause us to lose sight our values and make us slaves of our habits.
Our brains evolved to adapt and cope with conditions that existed thousands upon thousands of year ago. But those days aren't gone forever.
The future is not set in stone. There's still room for improvement.
Humans still have the ability to accomplish amazing feats. Amazing technologies are possible. To discover new frontiers and explore uncharted territories.
But we choose to be limited. To fear evolution. To reject evolution. To believe that what worked yesterday will work tomorrow.
Some people are trying to reverse this trend. They see themselves as warriors against the status quo. Fighting against the system. Against the system.
They see themselves as rebels who love to defy convention. They challenge the conventions of society.
They rebel against rules. They don't like conformity. They don’t care about social expectations. They think they know better than everyone else.
These people I wish you all the best!
You're going to need it!
You are fighting an uphill struggle. The forces that drive mainstream society are powerful.
In many places around the globe, the majority has no interest in listening to you. There is little interest in your point-of-view.
It doesn’t matter how brilliant, well-intentioned, or bright you may be. Your ideas may not be popular with the masses.
Your message could be lost on the ears of deaf people. That's precisely why you'll need strange lessons from the past.
Because that is where the real power lies. You can make a real difference here.
This is where you can inspire others. You can help transform communities by building movements.
So let me ask you something. Is it your goal to live up the other person's expectations all of the time? Or, would you rather choose to create your own path?
