Bialowieza: Is it being Cut Down? - Logging in Europe’s Last major Primeval Forest

The old-growth forest of Bialowieza, a biodiversity hotspot in Eastern Europe. But now… Poland is cutting down old trees in the UNESCO World Heritage forest, which is against the European law. What is going on in this fascinating forest? I tell my opinion about the logging and talk about natural processes; such as spruce bark beetle and climate change impacts on the Norway spruce. Something a little different then our usual survival content... Enjoy!
