Tha planaichean airson barrachd chraobhan a leagail ann an seann choille air taobh sear na Polainn air connspaid mhòr adhbharachadh. Tha an riaghaltas ag ràdh gum feum iad na tha ceadaichte a leagail ann an aon phàirt de choille BiaÅ‚owieża àrdachadh an treas cuid airson dèiligeadh ri daolag a tha a' dèanamh sgrios air a' ghiuthas Lochlannach, craobh a tha bitheanta sa àite. Ach tha eagal air cuid gu bheil seo a' dol a mhilleadh àrainneachd phrìseil air nach eil samhail sa Roinn ·¡Ã²°ù±è²¹. Chan eil coille nàdarra ·¡Ã²°ù±è²¹ch eile coltach rithe ‘s i air a bhith ann fad mhìltean bhliadhnachan. Tha feadhainn ag ràdh gu bheilear a’ cleachdadh an daolaig mar leisgeil tuilleadh chraobhan a leagail agus tha UNESCO agus an Coimisean ·¡Ã²°ù±è²¹ch cho iomagaineach ‘s gu bheil iad air a bhith a’ rannsachadh na tha a’ dol air adhart.

Plans to increase logging in an ancient forest in east Poland have proved controversal. The government say they need to increase the logging limits in one area of the Białowieża Forest to deal with an infestation of spruce bark beetle. But there is concern that this could devastate a precious environment unique in Europe. The natural forest dates back thousands of years. Some believe the spruce bark beetle to be an excuse to log more trees and UNESCO and the European Commission are so concerned that they are investigating the issue.
