While we were silent, our environment came to life

As we were forced to spend our daily lives in our homes, nature fell silent. In the absence of people, nature almost breathed. The utilization of the previously busy roads decreased, and this also meant that savages appeared on the previously man-made roads as well.

The animals even visited the big cities. It was as if life had turned. So far, man has visited animals at the zoo, and now the depopulated big cities have been visited by wildlife.

We stayed home to minimize the coronavirus epidemic, and while we worked and learned from the four walls, miracles happened in nature. Miracles that most of all required man not to interfere.

Videos and photos were taken in the big cities of several countries around the world, where we could see that the otherwise bustling part of the metropolitan street was free of people, but the animals made a discovery in a place where they would not have been able to show up anyway.

Life always took place in the Balaton Uplands National Park, but now that the environment was so inhumane and quiet, the migratory birds coming home to their nesting place probably felt much better. Swallows and storks returned during the stay at home. It didn’t matter how quiet humanity was, the animals lived their lives the same way, and indeed they got into trouble without humans, so the bird rescuers had a thing to do.

In the area of the Hortobágy National Park, the small ones of the wild animals were born in a row, so the population of wild horses, racka sheep and vultures increased. The bubbling banks, gulipans, black and white storks also returned to their breeding grounds.

In the Kiskunság National Park, barnacles appear year after year in the spring, but with the spring awakening, the marsh turtles appeared and the bustards started their wedding dance.

The Danube-Ipoly National Park has expanded not only with recurring animal species, but also with new areas, as the islands of Nyáros, Táti and Körtvélyes are now part of the national park. However, there are still caves in this area that were not visited by humans, but during the quarantine there was even an opportunity for them to be excavated by cave researchers.

The time spent staying at home allowed us to see how much a person is affected by their environment, and in many cases this is not in the least positive. As a result, many people are devoting more time and attention to switching to an environmentally friendly lifestyle, which has an impact on nature and the animals and plants that live in it.
