About 70 years ago, when a reservoir was created by feeding water from the river to supply drinking water to the inhabitants, a diverse environment where sand, greenery and water, where many creatures such as red foxes and rabbits flourished and are nurtured. And it is the European rabbit that supports this unique environment. What exactly does that mean? See the four seasons of life that are moving in the sandy land.
