OREANDA-NEWS According to Greenpeace experts, more than 5,500 sables, 300 bears, 2,700 wild reindeers and 1,500 moose lived in the territories covered by the fire. Those who survived can be helped by limiting the hunting quota in those places and reducing forest felling.

Scientists are sure that the damage to the environment of these animals was inflicted huge, for the next few years it is completely destroyed. Animals, most likely, will go to the territories inhabited by people, to landfills with food waste.

Scientists at the Krasnoyarsk Scientific Center of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences have named approximate dates for the restoration of forests burned in the region. According to them, this process will take at least 100 years.

 In the south of Siberia, where deciduous or pine forests predominate, restoration will go on for about 60–70 years, during which time a pine or larch grows into an adult plant. In the north, a whole century may not be enough to revive the taiga.
