Belovezhskaya Forest
Belovezhskaya Forest is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve located on the border between Belarus and Poland. It is the last remaining piece of the ancient forest that once covered a vast portion of the European Plain.
Belovezhskaya Forest is also an example of the benefits of urban density over sprawl. Expanding human settlements increase our reliance on oil and reduce biodiversity. If we could instead bring more plant life into urban settings, this could improve our quality of life and environment.
