Red Forest, Sacred grove in Vyshhorod Raion, Ukraine.
The Red Forest extends across a section of pine woodland where radiation from the Chernobyl incident caused the trees to display a reddish-brown coloration.
Following the 1986 nuclear accident, this forest absorbed high levels of radioactive particles, leading to the complete evacuation of local residents and environmental changes.
The forest now represents a testament to environmental preservation, where nature continues without human interference, making it a symbol of regeneration.
Visitors must obtain special permits and follow strict safety protocols when entering the forest, as radiation levels remain elevated throughout the protected area.
Scientists study the forest's ecosystem to understand how plants and animals adapt to radiation, revealing unexpected biological responses in this modified environment.
