Park protection zone
The protection zone of the Poleski National Park covers an area larger than the Park itself - 13702,77 ha. Its purpose is to isolate the protected area from the negative influence of human activity. The area of the zone has a natural value; some of it is part of the Poleski Landscape Park. The immediate plans of expansion of the Park are mostly concerned with these very fragments of the protection zone.
Basic objectives of the PPN
The fundamental purpose of the PPN is the preservationof nature within the Park's limits; the most attention is given to peat bog areas.
Some of the more important tasks of the PPN, which have been completed or are nearing completion and concern the preservation of nature and the environment, are:
- improvement of water conditions in most of the protected area, especially in the Bagno Bubnów and Stawy Pieszowolskie areas
-Â active protection of open areas, mainly low, high and transitory peat bogs
- restructuring of forest stands of the Poleski National Park
-Â population control of the European beaver (a species re-instituted in 1992)
-Â black grouse restitution
- assessment of the numbers of the European pond turtle in the Polesie National Park and its active protection
-Â drawing a park protection plan
Other objectives of the Park are the organising and supporting of science - research activities, educational programmes, publishing work and providing access for tourism.
