Story<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Bia\u0142owie\u017ca Forest is the last prehistoric lowland mixed forest in Europe. At no place on the continent has such a primeval forest been preserved. The biodiversity is staggering: there are more than 17,000 animal and plant species here, including many endemic species that occur only here. The oldest trees in the Bia\u0142owie\u017ca Forest are over 500 years old. Beavers, wild boars, lynx and wolves live here. And especially the bison, the relatives of the American bison, who once inhabited large parts of Europe, but whose last free-moving herds can now only be found here, in the east of the continent. A visit to the primeval forest of Bialowieza is like a journey into another time. A time before man began to push back nature and conquer the wilderness. Here, in Bia\u0142owie\u017ca, time seems to stand still. <\/h4>\n

The film shows the rich diversity of nature in the Bia\u0142owie\u017ca primeval forest, shows what makes this last lowland primeval forest so unique. Mystical landscapes and images of rare animals allow the spectator to relive the magic of the forest. It becomes clear what distinguishes a primeval forest from a cultural forest, how different plant and animal species interact, how life cycles and habitats interact. It is the protagonists of the film, who let us share in their lives for a short time and thus open up \u201ctheir\u201d perspective on the forest and its peculiarities. It also shows how important it is for people to treat this unique natural heritage, this magnificent, vast forest area of Bia\u0142owie\u017ca, where time \u2013 at least apparently \u2013 stands still.
