In 1992, UNESCO included part of the old-growth forests of Belovezhskaya Pushcha in the List of World Heritage Sites. Belovezhskaya Pushcha is the largest remnant of the relic primeval lowland forest, which, according to the ideas of modern science, grew in prehistoric times in Europe. It was gradually cut down, but in a relatively untouched state in the form of a large massif it has survived only in the Belovezhskaya region on the territory of modern Belarus and Poland. Belovezhskaya Pushcha belongs to the ecoregion called "Sarmatian mixed forest". The state border between Poland and Belarus passes through Belovezhskaya Pushcha. The watershed of the Baltic and Black Seas is located near the pushcha. To preserve the unique nature in Belovezhskaya Pushcha, four functional zones with different protection regimes have been identified: a protected zone, a zone of regulated use, a recreational and economic zone. In addition, a protected (buffer) zone has been created around the pushcha.
