Do WWF, Greepeace and all think it would be cool to allow wolves or lions to eat the some rare antilopes to the last one ?
WTF? You do know that Wolves and Lions are also rare and endangered, right? But basic ecology shows that if an antelope is RARE then it will be RARELY killed by predators, because they will RARELY find it, and instead more commonly eat more common prey. Simple, basic science.
In Bialowieza, the bark beetles come in cycles. They kill a lot of spruces, the trees die, they are replaced by other trees in a natural process by the forest itself. he bark beetle then becomes rarer (fewer spruces), so new spruces are able to grow. Had happened like that for centuries. There is no need for foresters to cut down trees, as they fall down by themselves (as trees eventually do, and provide habitats for deadwood specialists). No need for to replant them, as trees can plant themselves too, you know! So the forest is a naturally regenerating system. However, trees don't naturally turn themsevles into roof beams, firewood and pallets, so it needs Szyszko to do that, and put the money in his pocket and that of his friends who own wood processing factories. However, Poland is already full of plantation trees that are planted and grown specifically for that purpose. And Szyszko wants to turn the last natural forest into the same thing - a timber factory. Meanwhile he kills the tourist and hospitality industry, and destroys Poland's reputation.
