R&D establishment in Belovezhskaya Pushcha to study wildlife

In 2025, a modern international scientific-research centre will be built in the Belovezhskaya Pushcha National Park to study the wildlife

According to Aleksandr Ovsey, the Deputy Director General of the national park, the idea of building such a centre was born a decade ago.

“A concept was eventually decided upon, and pre-design work is already being completed. The ground floor will house laboratories of theriology, auroch studies, ornithology and entomology, botany and forestry, soil science and others, as well as specialised repositories of scientific samples and collections. In turn, there will be a library, a conference room, and the offices of researchers on the first floor,” Mr. Ovsey added.
