Hartmut Jungius

Dr. Hartmut Jungius is the chairman of LHNet Advisory Council. "The most important goal is to help stop the decline in biodiversity and, if possible to reverse the trend. Biodiversity is declining everywhere. If we look at the world as a whole - we see that we are losing species and we are losing habitats. It is our task to do whatever we can to stop this trend and to change it. It is important too that people, and especially rural people, should have access to natural resources And it is our task to do whatever we can to stop this trend and to change it."

Tomasz Kaminski

Is a biologist at the Mammal Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences in Białowieża in Poland. My job is to gather data on the ecology of bison, which in practice means that almost every day I spend in the forest with the bison. These largest terrestrial animals in Europe, I find it very fascinating creatures. Amazing to me is that they were saved from extinction, and the fact that they live in freedom in a large European country and are able to adapt to life in an environment modified by humans (for example - mosaic of forest and agricultural environments). This proves that bison are very flexible animals and they can live in many places in Europe. Every meeting with bison makes me strong emotions and leaves an unforgettable impression.

Mirte Kruit

She is working as a project manager for the LHNet. One of her bigger projects has been and still is the development of the website, Species section. Her goal with photography is to extend the joy of a special moment in nature. The thrill she gets of a sudden appearance of a group of Bison in the Białowieża forest, the remaining footprints of a pack of Wolves, or the discovery of a Crane nest during a walk through marshlands. Photography enables her to share such moments with family, friends and other people interested.
