Donald Tusk with a big saw. Greenpeace protest in Warsaw

A banner with an area of ​​100 square meters with the image of the KO leader was hung on the wall of the block opposite the Sejm building. Greenpeace explained in a statement that the action is a reminder of the promise made by the head of government. It is about protection against logging of 20 percent. the most valuable forests.

Instead of the promised 20 percent. forests without logging, currently only about 5% are permanently protected. public forests in Poland. The vast majority of these are forests in national parks and reserves that were established before 2023. Voters who voted for Donald Tusk and his coalition partners to end the destruction of Polish forests have the right to feel cheated, say ecologists.

Donald Tusk promised Poles real change. After years of exploitation and mindless destruction, our most valuable forests were finally to be protected. The fourth year of this term of office of the Sejm begins. This is the last moment for Prime Minister Tusk to show that he does not mince words and is able to effectively implement his promises - noted Marek Józefiak, spokesman for Greenpeace Polska.

Aleksandra Wiktor, coordinator of nature campaigns at Greenpeace Poland, said that in recent years activists have visited the wildest corners of Poland to document the destruction in the most valuable forests.

We followed trucks that transport ancient beech trees cut down in the Bieszczady Mountains to Slovakia to the factory of an international concern where cardboard is produced. Allowing the Bieszczady forests to be turned into cardboard is a crime against our natural heritage. It is not too late for Donald Tusk to prove that he can stop this crime, she said.

Activists accuse politicians of the current government of boasting about new nature reserves, the size of which is small.
