Can Poland protect her natural resources?

Poland is as precious in the eyes of the world as any other country.  Her contribution to securing the future climate, is just as important as the contribution of other nations with vast natural resources.  Not surprising then, that many of her people are determined to halt the large-scale felling of timber in her now world-famous forest of Bialoweza.  

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?    ​
