I’m Tom, a biologist living in Białowieża Forest in eastern Poland. I have a PhD from Warsaw University on how wolves shape ecosystems. My latest research project entails exploring how people and wolves shape beaver impacts on trees.
Poland has a rich natural heritage. Here you can find the kind of nature that has been wiped out over time in western Europe. Through my scientific work I aim to contribute a little towards unlocking its ecological secrets.
Few English sources show Polish wildlife to the world. Hence my website documents stories I encounter about the wolves and wildlife inhabiting Poland. I hope you’ll find it useful. Perhaps in this small way I can help society keep a hold of its few remaining wild places for future generations.
