Loughborough Naturalists Club - Behind the Iron Curtain

A Zoom presentation by Ben Driver of Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust.

For over 40 years the Iron Curtain divided Europe. Along stretches, the physical barrier was set 5km in from a country’s actual border, creating a no man’s land – free from human inhabitants. With little disturbance, wildlife thrived. When the Iron Curtain fell many of these areas became protected as national parks. Tim looks at the wildlife of one such area - Podyji National Park in the Czech Republic.
