Save Bialowieza Forest!

On March 3 BISON, the Bialowieza International Solidarity Network, is organising international visits to Polish Embassies around the world as part of the campaign to save the Bialowieza Forest, Europe’s last, low-land, old-growth forest as a national park. This issue is of great importance, without a doubt the most important forest in Europe and the last wild european bison.

March 3 events are planned in: London (UK), Dublin (Ireland), Briest (Belarus), Prague (Czech Republic), Bratislava (Slovakia), Helsinki (Finland), Bucarest (Romania), Leipzig (Germany), Wienna (Austria), Columbo (Sri Lanka), Pretoria (South Africa), Kampala (Uganda), Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Canberra (Australia), Seul (South Korea), Toronto (Canada), Tokio (Japan), Kiev (Ukraine), New York (USA). Hopefully this is not the end of the list.
