In 2004, a book called “The Afterlife of a Tree” was published as part of a project run by WWF Poland in the Białowieża Forest. Its publication stemmed from the need to educate the public about the protection of the remaining natural lowland woods in the Białowieża Forest and their natural processes. In the end, the book became more universal in ch...

Fungi, like other living organisms, are vulnerable when exposed to the harmful effects of human activity. Their populations may be reduced and threatened at different geographical scales and, for some species, there may even be a global risk of extinction. They are particularly sensitive to disturbance and loss of their natural habitats. Air pollut...
