Environment be damned or don't be damned. Because you like them or because you don't like your neighbors ... what animals would you like to see locally that are not there ?

Raccoons now have a stable population in Pripyat Marshes, don't know much more.
Wait they introduced the most mischievous animal in existence to the place where they're trying to contain the worst nuclear accident in history?
They were introduced in 1960s, IIRC.
The USSR had 100s of nuclear reactors, yet the only meltdown was in the only nuclear plant that raccoons had access to.
There was also a very similar meltdown at Leningrad NPP in 1975, except there the situation was recognised earlier and the reactor was shut down before everything went to shit completely.
