The sky lit up with careless ease,<\/p>\n

We left you as we fled the scene.<\/p>\n

A distant whisper in the trees,<\/p>\n

The sky lit up with careless ease.<\/p>\n

Our selfish whim you did appease,<\/p>\n

And reappeared as if from dream.<\/p>\n

The sky lit up with careless ease,<\/p>\n

We left you as we fled the scene.<\/p>\n

This is a Triolet<\/a>, written about recent research<\/a> done by scientists from the University of Georgia, who used remote-camera surveys to show that 30 years on from the Chernobyl disaster there is an abundance of wildlife in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ). Rather than the radiation levels, they found that other habitat-related and anthropogenic factors (such as farming practices and the presence, or not, of humans) appeared to be the main drivers of occupancy by the animals in certain areas.<\/p>\n
