Protest Against Deforestation In Poland

A sign 'Do not cut the rope or a man will die' hangs over a path newly dug by woodcutters, the rope holds a tand with a person inside on May 14, 2021 near Arlamow, Carpathians mountains, south-eastern Poland. The Wild Carpathians Initiative continues its occupational protest against deforestation of the Turnicki area of Eastern Carpathian mountains. The group blocks entrances to strategic paths of cutting crews since the end of April when the National Forest resumed large-scale forest cuts under the Forest Management Plan. Activists argue that this area should not operate under the Plan but rather become a National Park. The activists base their argument on the age of the forest (some trees are 300 years old) and the biodiversity only possible to maintain in a naturally managed environment. The area is a home to wildlife species, such as bear, wolf, boar or deer as well as rare plants. (Photo by Dominika Zarzycka/NurPhoto)
