Simona Kossak (1943-2007)
Polish biologist, ecologist, author, PhD in forestry, and uncompromising conservation activist

They called her a witch, because she chatted with animals and owned a terrorist-crow, who stole gold and attacked bicycle riders.

She spent more than 30 years in a wooden hut in the Białowieża Forest, without electricity or access to running water. A lynx slept in her bed, and a tamed boar lived under the same roof with her.

She was a scientist, ecologist and the author of award-winning films, as well as radio broadcasts. She was also an activist who fought for the protection of Europe’s oldest forest. Simona believed that one ought to live simply, and close to nature. Among animals she found that which she never found with humans.
