Białowieża Forest is suffering — scientist proposes transboundary peace park with Belarus

Dr Katarzyna Nowak of the Polish Academy of Sciences' Mammal Research Institute in Białowieża warns that the Białowieża Forest is deteriorating and some species are already leaving the area. She proposes transforming it into a transboundary peace park — a model used elsewhere in the world where hostile states cooperate to protect ecologically vital land. Such a park would require Polish-Belarusian cooperation despite deeply strained political relations.
