The following are species negatively affected by excessive logging and removal of dead wood from Białowieża Forest. Most of these endangered species depend on an abundance of dead wood, which is why they are extinct across most managed forests (where dead wood is routinely removed). In time I’ll add some details and photos for each of the species, but for now it remains just a list. Habitats Directive Annex II species directly affected
