CHORNOBYL FOOD: animal feed for the Zone, made at the Hub.

Hundreds of dogs live in the Chornobyl Zone - descendants of animals left behind during the 1986 evacuation. Visitors feed them whatever they have: sandwiches, chocolate. For an animal such a treat can be deadly.

In the summer of 2020 we launched CHORNOBYL FOOD, a healthy, balanced feed for dogs and foxes. We made and packed it ourselves at CHORNOBYL HUB and sold it at our information centers in the Zone. Every pack asks visitors not to feed wild animals human food.

Later the Hub also became a workplace for cooperation with the American nonprofit Clean Futures Fund and its Dogs of Chornobyl project: meetings were held here, medicines and equipment collected, and Chornobyl dogs examined and temporarily sheltered. From 2022 animal feed was also sent from here to the villages around the Zone that had lived through the occupation.
