April 10, 2012| Guides explained why the Russians have "run" to Belovezhskaya Pushcha
By Natalia Susha, "Vecherniy Brest" (Evening Brest) newspaper Tourism issues are traditionally discussed on the eve of International Day for Monuments and Sites, which is celebrated worldwide on April 17. Unfortunately, this industry sector in our country is still far from even a minimal capacity to be realized, although "rescue recipe" is actually quite simple and is well-known for professionals. Guides often got at the heart of the historical truth which you will never find in textbooks. Russia had top-popular TV programs where the Belarusian Grandfather Frost's residence in Belovezhskaya Pushcha has been shown as an inexpensive, funny and profitable place for tourism. The idea got suddenly open that Belarus is not far and quite cheap. And the people have run!

These are us!"
By Nikolai Cherkas, "Vecherniy Brest" (Evening Brest) newspaper Who said that only royal person hunted in a big way in Belovezhskaya Pushcha? Soviet leaders also liked "to have a good time" in this way. A state protected game ground is nonsense like a state-nongovernmental organization. The entry for ordinary people into its territory was banned. But hunt for high-ranking officials was even allowed there. A swan for a museum. Just a little whimsy? Director of the National Park "Belovezhskaya Pushcha" Nikolai Bambiza once made a mistake.

Exclusive tourism or tours on condition of hard workload?
By Natalia Benitsevich, "National Fund of St. Trifon" Few people know about Belarusian safari tours. But experts consider them as the promising line of eco-tourism. The first official safari tours appeared in Belarus in December 2009 in the National Park "Pripyatskiy". This initiative was taken up in Belovezhskaya Pushcha late last year.

By Dmitry Umpirovich, "Sovetskaya Belorussia" (The Soviet Belorussia) newspaper For a long time residents of villages in the vicinity of Belovezhskaya Pushcha do not surprise at newfangled fun "safari". Is bison our national treasure to care very much? It depends which way you look. If to look from the Pruzhany district, something very unpleasant will be seen – trampled agricultural fields, eaten winter crops and multimillion-dollar losses. Reporters of "SB" saw with their own eyes that the proximity of national parks and their dwellers to the villages and farms is very problematic.

February 28, 2012| Why have "hunters" on bison not found to this day?
By Catherine Sinyuk, "TUT.BY" The investigation of the illegal hunting of bison is still underway. We recall that "blood" events occurred in late January - first a dead one and seriously wounded second bison was found in the Khoiniki district, and then three more decapitated bison were found in the Volozhin district. How difficult is it to find the culprits? Has illegal hunting on bison in Belovezhskaya Pushcha in the period when Nikolai Bambiza led the National Park been conducted? It is unknown because there is no official confirmation of information. However, one glaring fact was still locked - a criminal investigation into the illegal hunting of a female bison in the strictly protected zone on the territory of the Yazvinskoe forestry of the National Park was open in November of 2009.

February 25, 2012| What prevents an European Diploma to Belovezhskaya Pushcha back?
By Catherine Sinyuk, "TUT.BY" Experts from the Council of Europe, who visited the National Park "Belovezhskaya Pushcha" in September 2011, still have a number of claims to it. Despite the positive developments for which they have recently praised the new leadership of the Park, a Diploma cannot be returned or can be returned for 3 years. It depends on compliance with a number of conditions by the National Park. CE experts do not approve of hunting for bison and the estate of Santa Claus in the center of the Forest. The management of the National Park is grateful for the advice, but not all of them can be performed.

February 24, 2012| A raid from a protected natural area
By Sergei Moschik, "Vecherniy Brest" (Evening Brest) newspaper Many farms of the Pruzhany District suffer from bison. Forecasts are disappointing as many hundred acres should be reseeded. Giants listed in a Red Data Book feel themselves as being the rightful owner there. Old-timers recall that earlier bison also went to the people but these were isolated cases. In recent years, there are more and more "stray" animals. You have to just guess about the reasons for that – timber harvesting in the past, excessive number of the bison population or anything else.

February 22, 2012| Will a Santa Claus move because of the expansion of the strictly protected zone of Belovezhskaya Pushcha?
By Catherine Sinyuk, "TUT.BY" A Presidential decree N0 59 "On some issues of specially protected natural areas" takes effect in less than 3 months. According to it, the pride of Belarus – the National Park "Belovezhskaya Pushcha" - expects huge changes. In particular, the historical strictly reserved part of the Forest is increased by almost twice. This decree is a historic event. What to do with the estate of Santa Claus?

February 21, 2012| Bison and scapegoats
By A. Raevskaya, "Belarusian Green Portal" After removing bison from the untouchable status and moving them to economic self-sufficiency, the government gave hunters and poachers the "green light" for their extermination. Advertising is the motor trade. Good people and bad animals. Scapegoats. In December 2009, three bison were illegally shot out during a hunt in national parks "Belovezhskaya Pushcha" and "Pripyatskiy".

February 18, 2012| 'AIDS'-bearer-bison will be allowed to shoot
By Alexei Zimin, "Free Press" Unique animals will be exterminated by "science" in Belarus. President Lukashenko began tightening the screws on the field of hunting and fishing. Nikolai Bambiza, director general of the National Park "Belovezhskaya Pushcha", deputy chairman of the "Belarusian Society of Hunters and Fishermen" and head of this society Yuri Shumsky were under pressure. President of Belarus has taken the industry in personal control by chance - hunting brings a good income in times of crisis in the country. Since last year bison, the symbol of Belarus, which is listed in a Red Data Book and banned for hunting, became one of the most offered trophy to get currency. However, the shooting of animals has caused outrage in the country.

February 17, 2012| On a sledge with a breeze
By Sergei Moschik, "Vecherniy Brest" (Evening Brest) newspaper The tourist complex "BelovezhTour", which is located in the village of Kletnoe, Pruzhany district, invites to drive in a sledge on the ecological trail. The distance of the extraordinary journey is up to 8 kilometers. People resting in the "BelovezhTour" and the National Park "Belovezhskaya Pushcha" can take advantage of this innovation. Russian businessman Nikolai Burnos, he was born in Kletnoe, funds the tourist complex. Sergei Tarasevich, a representative of the investor in the Pruzhany district, told that scientists from the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus and from the National Park "Belovezhskaya Pushcha" helped introduce this idea.

By Elena Terentyeva, "Wild Nature" Belarusian hunting tourism is in anticipation of changes. I can say with good reason that these decisions are not competent and professional. It is expected to use unified tariffs for foreign hunters who come to take wild animals' trophies, regardless of whether the animal is shot in the national park, or public hunting enterprise, or private hunting ground. The purpose is good, to create equal conditions for all business entities that provide services for hunt. It is wrong to equalize prices emulating the National Part "Belovezhskaya Pushcha", which is the Belarusian brand in the world hunting tourism market for many years, if compared with the ordinary hunting ground.

By Pyotr Kozlo, "Belarusian Hunting Portal" Bison along with aurochs has been the object of exciting hunting for many centuries. With the reduction in the natural habitat and the number of bison, only princes, kings, tsars and their attendants hunted them. Even 100 years ago, the greatest hunting for bison was arranged in Belovezhskaya Pushcha. In 1993, Belarus had 360 bison which consisted of three populations. The basis of our program is to put the meta-population model, or the strategy of this kind. Bison is a universal value.

February 11, 2012| The Lukashenko's administration authorizes murder of bison
"Timber-Industrial Gazette" Illegal hunting of bison is constantly conducted in Belarus, often under the patronage of Lukashenko's administration. However, it is officially covered as shooting allegedly sick and old animals. Therefore, it is possible that the last case of murder of three healthy bison by Russian "tourist-hunter" will remain unpunished. Let's recall that a criminal investigation into the killing of three bison in Nalibokskaya Pushcha was opened in the Volozhin district. Two employees of the Volozhin forest enterprise were detained. It is supposed they helped "tourists" from Moscow in killing three bison, which they later were going to make stuffed animals. It is permitted to hunt selected animals in the National Park "Belovezhskaya Pushcha".

February 11, 2012| Moonshine from Belovezhskaya Pushcha
By Alexei Zimin, "Free Press" Belarusians can give odds to all fellow Slavs in the skill of moonshine brewing. Belarusian villagers never had much money, while now they earn from 500 to 1500 Russian Rubles (~$ 160 – 500) per month as the local equivalent. Home moonshine device in the private economy of Belarusians is as a common thing as a rake and a pitchfork. Cunning bootleggers escape the police actions in the woods. Foreigners even made a movie about the Belarus moonshine. A Catholic priest tried to struggle with alcoholism of villagers by calling on the help of higher powers. There are reserves in Belarus for the moonshine too. Two small shops on production of intoxicating gifts are working in Belovezhskaya Pushcha. The excise tax on the legal moonshine is two times lower than on the vodka.

February 10, 2012| Sad song about bison
By Sergei Muravski, "Narodnaya Gazeta" (The People's Newspaper) newspaper It has long been recognized in Belarus that inbound tourism not only can but should be one of the largest sources of foreign currency earnings to the state budget in the near future . Throughout the work to develop tourism infrastructure, built hotels and tourist centers, improve recreational areas and establish order in national parks intensified its efforts.

February 08, 2012| Road Service is still modest
"Sovetskaya Belorussia" (The Soviet Belorussia) newspaper If the country is situated at the crossing of European highways, it must have a good roadside service, as is consider the Brest Regional Executive Committee. The problem was clearly posed - all objects of the roadside service must be good in the next two years. Another road, which is now under focus of special attention, is going around Belovezhskaya Pushcha. This route should be attractive to tourists.

By Vitovtas Zheymantas & Leonid Lohmanenko, "The Star Newspaper" 21 bison live today in Poshilyaysk bison nursery which is located in the Ponevezhsk district. The youngest is only at the age of month. In 1973 the first five bison were released from the nursery to Poshilyaysk forest. That was the point to begin the life of free-living herds of bison in Lithuania. They also began to multiply in this forest. Over forty years of the existence of Poshilyaysk bison nursery, nearly 140 bison were born, while 80 animals live in the wild. Descendants of bison from Belovezhskaya Pushcha are in good health. There is the problem of hunting and conservation of the bison gene pool.

(Belovezhskaya Consensus and Belarus)
By Stanislav Shushkevich, "The People's Will" About Me - chronology and statistics. In early December 1991, seeing the failure of attempts to revive the Soviet Union and give it a "human face", I have invited leaders of the RSFSR, USSR and BSSR to Belovezhskaya Pushcha, together with the heads and competent government experts. In Belovezhskaya Pushcha, it was decided to officially recognize the reality what was taking place. It was to recognize that the Soviet Union as a geopolitical reality and the subject of international law does not function as a normal state, in other words it will cease to exist. Subsequently, it was repeatedly emphasized and is now generally accepted that the document prevented the power method of the withdrawal of the newly independent states from the treaty of the Soviet Union was exactly developed, agreed and signed there, in Belovezhskaya Pushcha.

By Alexei Burkovsky, "Faces" Environmental problems of Poland are largely consonant with the Ukrainian ones. However, its membership in the EU leaves a significant mark in their approach to the solution, and to the philosophy of conservation. We talk on this subject with the Polish ecologist Krzysztof Voicehowski. We conduct a number of campaigns for the protection of wildlife habitats in Poland, for example, in the Bialowieza Forest, Carpathian Mountains, and Raspuda river valley. Sometimes we have to do drastic actions. For example, foreign hunters came to hunt in the Bialowieza Forest on the very borders of the national park.
