Learning about the life of Simona Kossak made me very happy last week 🐦‍⬛🌲💞
Black and white photo of an old style home, a woman is lying curled up on the floor beside the bed. She is smiling and pretending to be sleeping. On the bed a large wild boar is happily fast asleep. Simona Kossak (1943-2007) was a Polish scientist, ecologist and environmental activist who dedicated her life to protecting the Biatowieza Primeval Forest, the oldest forest in Europe. She was an extraordinary and fascinating personality, known for her close connection to nature and animals. The locals often called her a "witch" because she lived in the seclusion of the forest and seemed to have a special relationship with the animals. Her pet "terror crow" was known for stealing gold and attacking cyclists - an anecdote that is often told. She lived in her small wooden hut, which had neither electricity nor running water, for over 30 years. A lynx occasionally slept in her bed, and a tame wild boar shared her home. Simona Kossak was known not only for her unconventional life, but also for her scientific contributions to nature conservation and her tireless work to protect the Biatowieza Primeval Forest. She fought against the destruction of this unique ecosystem and left an important legacy in the field of environmental protection in Poland.
