Feldman Ecopark

The Feldman Ecopark (Ukrainian: Фельдман-Екопарк) in Lisne, Kharkiv Raion is a regional landscape park, which combined animal care and therapy for children with special needs before the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. It is a project of the ICF "Oleksandr Feldman Foundation".[1] The park was originally created in Derhachi Raion, the Raion was later merged into the Kharkiv Raion.[2][3]

Feldman Ecopark was largely destroyed during the Russo-Ukrainian war of 2022. During shelling three workers died. Two workers arrived later at the park to feed the animals. Their bodies have been found.[4] The Russians stole vegetables intended for animal feed.[5] Two orangutans and one chimpanzee have been killed.[6] A couple of bisons have been killed by shelling, a ten-month-old one left without parents.[7] About 6000 animals were evacuated from the park.[8] A sixth volunteer was killed during evacuation of African buffaloes.[9]
