Description
This old-growth virgin forest, home to the European bison, is Europe's last primeval lowland forest that once covered entire northeastern Europe. The Bialowieza Forest is a Special Area of Conservation of the EU Natura 2000 network of nature protection areas but was devastated in 2017 by illegal large-scale logging with use of heavy equipment ordered by the Polish government. The Bialowieza Forest National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of Outstanding Universal Value (inscribed in 1979 and later extended as "Bialowieza Forest, Belarus, Poland").
