Nature is resilient. If left alone, it can almost always find a way to flourish. Even the desolated exclusion zone around the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine, which was destroyed in a nuclear explosion in 1986, is now thriving with small animals and birds. In these photos, you'll get to see the unique ways nature finds to adapt to its surroundings: from a tree that has modified itself according to the urban environment, to abandoned places being reclaimed by the wild. These fascinating examples show that nature just never gives up. Perhaps there's a lesson there for us.
