Wilderness in the heart of Europe

Europe has a Wilderness definition, Wilderness conservation policy (description how to protect Wilderness in Europe), a short inventory (tentative list of where the Wilderness is in Europe), European Wilderness Quality Standard and Audit System (concept to evaluate quality standard of European Wilderness) and also a European Wilderness Network!

What we Europeans are still missing is appreciation of European Wilderness. The book A year in the Wilderness is a step to fill this gap. It is a pioneering document describing a wonderful piece of Carpathian Wilderness in Tatra National Park at the border of Slovakia and Poland!

Karol Kalisky, author of this book, was born at the foothills of Tatra Mountains; he grew up here and now currently lives with his family in this region. This remarkable book is going to be published in the coming days and will be possible to order via our website very soon.
