Park in Podlaskie Voivodeship, in Eastern
Poland near the border with Belarus. The
border between the two countries runs
through the forest. The total area of the
park is 152.2 square kilometres. It is
known for the protection of bisons. It is
home to the world's largest population
of European bison (Polish: żubr). Bisons
are the continent's heaviest land
animals. The symbol of the park is the
bison, because in this park this animal
was saved from destruction.

the genuine protection efforts are
centuries older.
