Several dozen young deer have settled in the Zakarpattia National Park. They were purchased by a local businessman, Yuriy Tyukh. 

Man tells, who brought animals in order to preserve their population in the forests of the Carpathians. The entrepreneur delivered deer from New Zealand, Austria, England and Hungary. He bought them with his own funds, but he does not disclose the cost. When the animals reach three years of age, the man will release them all into the wild.

On Yuriy's initiative, the "Synevyr" ecopark was created in Zakarpattia for the rehabilitation and preservation of animals. In addition to deer, you can see lions, gray wolves and ungulates. They are also planning to buy red grouse.

Today it is one of the most popular locations among tourists. "We are creating a biopark for the preservation and reproduction of endangered species of animals, as well as completely extinct representatives of the Carpathian fauna, in order to restore their populations in the wild." tells Yuri.
