Often overlooked amid the human suffering, Russia is inflicting lasting damage on wildlife and globally important wetlands
very spring for the past 30 years, conservationists at the Tuzly Lagoons national park on the Black Sea inhave been digging shallow channels from the coastal lagoons down to the shoreline, linking the bodies of water together.
“For 30 years, we organised scientists to do restoration in this area, to save this steppe and support this exchange of water. Now there is no entrance from the Black Sea, no migration of these fish, and the egrets need to eat them,” says Ivan Rusev, the park’s head of research. “It really is a tragedy.”
Dolphins found along the coast of the Black Sea had suffered burns from explosions and other injuries to organs used for orientation. They also showed signs of starvation.in huge numbers on Black Sea beaches, not just in Ukraine but also in Turkey and Bulgaria. Researchers suggest sound pollution is likely to be a factor in their deaths, including possible sonar interference from the Russian navy ships along the coast.
