EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the tranquil beauty of the Bialowieza Forest in Belarus, European Bisons (Bison bonasus) gather around a supplementary feeding spot, eagerly awaiting their daily meal. In this image, a gamekeeper stands ready with a cartload of hay and turnips, a routine that has been carried out at the same time every day for generations. The herd, a mix of males and females, approaches the feeding area with a sense of familiarity and trust, their massive horns adorned with new growth from the spring. The European Bison, also known as the Wisent, is a large and powerful mammal, and is the last surviving representative of the primeval forest fauna of Europe. This species once roamed freely across the European woodlands, but was hunted to near extinction in the late 19th century. Today, the Bialowieza Forest, which straddles the border between Belarus and Poland, is a national park and nature reserve, providing a sanctuary for these magnificent creatures. The image captures a moment of harmony between man and nature, as the gamekeeper continues a tradition that helps ensure the survival and well-being of this endangered species. The European Bison, with its distinctive curved horns, is a testament to the rich history and biodiversity of Europe's woodlands.
