Covering an area of 1500 square kilometres, the Bialoweza Forest is home to several rare species of birds, and is also the last place to find the European bison in its natural habitat. Thousands of people visit the forest each year, and it is notably a UNESCO biosphere reserve, as well as a world heritage site. How then can commercial logging be used to destroy one of Poland's places of unique interest to the world, the last remaining primeval forest on the European continent?

Bialowieza is the oldest and best preserved primeval forest, but is being threatened by an infestation of bark beetle.
