Comment
Dedicated to the Eurasian lynx. The 30-kilometer exclusion zone and the zone of unconditional resettlement, in which the Chernobyl Radiation-Ecological Biosphere Reserve has been operating since April 26, 2016, have turned into a kind of reserve for breeding not only typical, but also rare Red Book representatives of the animal world. Among such representatives, a species that is not so easy to meet in the wild is the lynx. In the past, the lynx was a common predator for Polissia. But as a result of the development of forests and the direct pursuit of it by man as early as the 19th century, lynx became a rare animal. The Eurasian lynx is a species listed in the Red Book of Ukraine, Appendix II of the Berne Convention on the Protection of Wild Flora and Fauna and Natural Habitats in Europe, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.Souvenir packaging
