Rarely you can encounter such unshy Bisons (especially with yearling!).
But yesterday this small herd in Białowieża Forest was posing really nicely.

Sustainable energies are crucial to mitigate #climatechange. However we should not forget about the importance of maintaining #biodiversity in the process. Such investments should not be erected in the heart of a #UNESCO World Heritage Site. [3/4]

Yet another bison illegally shot among many other protected and rare species in Poland, such as wolves and lynx. 😔
Quote Tweet
Kolejny żubr nielegalnie zastrzelony, w Polsce trwa powszechny, nielegalny odstrzał wielu gatunków chronionych i rzadkich: wilków, rysi, żubrów, itd. A doniesienia medialne to zaledwie czubek góry lodowej.
