Simona Kossak (1943-2007) was a Polish biologist, and an uncompromising activist. ecologist, and author, with a PhD in forestry. She chatted with animals and had a terrorist crow who stole gold and attacked bicycle riders.
She spent more than 30 years in a house without electricity or running water in the Bialowieza Forest, --- the comfortable forester's lodge.
A lynx slept on her bed and a tamed boar lived with her too.
She produced award winning films. She fought for the protection of Europe's oldest forests and believed that one should live simply and close to nature. Among animals she found wisdom that she felt could never be found among humans.
