Deforestation Protest Continues Third Month In East Poland

Environmental activists face forest services during protest against deforestation on a dust road which enters Turnicki forest on July 28, 2021 near Arlamow, Carpathian mountains, south-eastern Poland. The activists lock themselves in metal tubes and lie on the road to stop trucks carrying wood. The Wild Carpathian Initiative continues its occupational protest against deforestation of the Turnicki area of Carpathian mountains. The group have been blocking 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)
