Abstract
First paragraph: The year 2016 was the 30th anniversary of the world's worst nuclear accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (Ukraine). To mark this anniversary, a workshop was held in Chernihiv (Ukraine) to discuss what we have learnt from studies of the effects of radiation on the environment (i.e. wildlife) in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (CEZ), and what questions remain.
