Photos from Ukraine - Chornobyl

Autumn 2004 I had the chance to pay a visit to Chornobyl. Although the nuclear explosion caused an enormous disaster, nature seems to recover faster than thought. I made a lot of photos how the are looks like now: about the landscape, the human tragedy and nature. especially the Przewalski horses that live there are very interesting.

For more information about Chrornobyl, please visit the international website chernobyl.info is an information and communication platform. It is addressed to all those who are dedicated to the alleviation of suffering and to reconstruction efforts in the regions still affected by the consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor disaster. In pursuit of its objectives, the website takes the following approach:

1. It provides impartial information on the impacts of the Chernobyl disaster, and on the current situation in the affected areas. It is under the supervision of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).
2. The website wishes to provide a sound basis for the evaluation of measures aimed at dealing with the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster. The most important target audience worldwide comprises decision-makers, at all levels, who are concerned with the consequences of Chernobyl. The provision of information for decision-makers should help to promote the funding of targeted and useful measures.
3. The website facilitates the sharing of experiences and communication between authorities, communities, NGOs, twin towns, international organisations, and local, national, multi- and bilateral support projects for the regions affected by the Chernobyl disaster.

In September 2004 we could visit the heard of przewalski horses in the Chornobyl area. It is surpising how good and healthy they look like.
