As of today, people across the globe can watch a new film about Polesia on an innovative, interactive streaming platform – the Waterbear Network. The documentary ‘Europe’s Secret Eden: Polesia’ features spectacular footage of this wetland wilderness, and provides insights into the efforts of dedicated conservationists from the international coalitions Save Polesia and Wild Polesia.
Volha Kaskevich – an environmental activist from Save Polesia partner ‘Bahna’ – shares her passion for ‘Europe’s Amazon’ and its protection:
Polesia is a special refuge for many mammals – such as bear, or wolves, or lynx, elks and wild boars. I hope that Polesia will stay undamaged, untouched. It should be protected.
But this little-known gem is under threat. What’s at stake if the E40 waterway goes ahead? Watch ‘Europe’s Secret Eden – Polesia’ here.
