How is Chernobyl safe for wildlife now, but this book is still dangerous?

Um, Chernobyl is still extremely radioactive. You probably mean the exclusion zone which is really not that bad, there's even tourists going there. But it's still not recommended to live there due to cumulative exposure.

Interesting video on Chernobyl and the people still living in the exclusion zone.
