RC2U29AWZ479 A sign warns of mines in a forest destroyed by a fire at the Sviati Hory National Park, Donetsk region, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, July 26, 2024. Protecting the environment isn't the highest priority for a country fighting to repel an invading army in a grinding conflict that has claimed tens of thousands of lives. The damage to forests is nonetheless part of a broader trail of environmental destruction caused by the war, which could leave a bleak natural legacy for decades to come, having poisoned earth and rivers, polluted the air and left vast tracts of the country riddled with mines, according to the experts.

About 425,000 hectares of forest across the country have been found to be contaminated by mines and unexploded ordnance, an area half the size of Cyprus, according to the environment ministry. The damage to forests is part of a broader trail of environmental destruction caused by the war, which could leave a bleak natural legacy for decades to come, having poisoned earth and rivers, polluted the air and left vast tracts of the country riddled with mines, according to the experts.

The Sawre Muybu territory includes some 1,780 square kilometers (690 sq miles) of jungle on the banks of the Tapajos river, a once pristine tributary of the Amazon that is still one of Brazil's only major rivers without a hydroelectric dam.
