The Carbon Threat #4
Wild horses roam in Pleistocene Park located along the Kolyma River, near Chersky, Siberia. The Pleistocene Park is a nature reserve, research station, and large-scale scientific experiment established by geophysicist Sergey Zimov and his son Nikita. They believe that by recreating the ecosystem of the Pleistocene era, which was dominated by grasslands and large mammals, they can slow down the thawing of permafrost.

خيولٌ برية تتجول في منتزه بليستوسين الكائن على طول نهر كوليما قرب تشيرسكي، سيبيريا. يُعتبر منتزه بليستوسين محميةً طبيعية ومحطة للبحوث وتجربة علمية واسعة النطاق أجراها العالم الجيوفيزيائي سيرغي زيموف وابنه نيكيتا. بحسب اعتقادهما، يمكنهما إبطاء ذوبان الأرض دائمة التجمّد من خلال إعادة إنشاء النظام البيئي الذي كان سائداً في العصر البليستوسيني والذي كانت المراعي والثدييات الضخمة تهيمن عليه.
