Bringing Back the Herds to Keep the Permafrost Frozen

Climate

🇷🇺 Russia

Snow insulates the ground like a duvet, so the permafrost beneath never gets properly cold. Large animals trample it flat — which is the entire theory behind this park.

We research and write every entry ourselves, so there’s no self-serve editing — but corrections from people who know Pleistocene Park first-hand are the best ones we get.

A public page or report we can cite. Without one we usually can’t publish a change.
