Large-scale cuttings including illegal fellings of the living wood within the protected area, artificial afforestation and some other activities dramatically changed this forest and its unique biodiversity. Serious social crises and the pressure of local population provided by the administration of the National Park are additional troubles in this region.
Many of these facts and events are accessible on-line now. Please VISIT THE WEBSITE "Belovezhskaya Pushcha – 21st Century" (http://bp21.org.by/) AND JOIN OUR EFFORTS TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE THIS FOREST. YOUR CONTRIBUTION IS VERY WELCOME.
Please we do ask you to forward and distribute this information about the new website accessible to your friends and colleagues, as far as possible.
It is also very important that today this is the only website devoting the specially protected natural area in Belarus and widely showing its unique nature and problems.
