East Carpathians Biosphere Reserve.avi
East Carpathians Biosphere Reserve is the largest biosphere reserve in Europe.This first trilateral Biosphere Reserve in the world is a unique treasure of global importance, combining immense wildlife value with rich cultural heritage. Fragments of Carpathian virgin forests are still preserved over vast areas of the Reserve and the natural beech stands are the biggest in Europe. No wonder in 2007 the clusters of primeval beech forests were inscribed to the UNESCO's World Heritage List. The reserve covers 200000 hectares (in Poland 53%, in Slovakia 19% and in Ukraine 27% of the total area) and encompasses six protected areas within the borders of three countries: Bieszczady National Park, Cisna-Wetlina and San Valley Landscape Parks in Poland, Poloniny National Park and its buffer zone in Slovakia; Uzhansky National Nature Park and Nadsyansky Regional Landscape Park in Ukraine. East Carpathians Biosphere Reserve is the only territory, where mountain meadows called poloniny are being protected. Also it is one of the wildlife hotspots, where big forest animals roam free. Low population density over a relativelly large territory makes East Carpathians Biosphere Reserve unique within Europe.

After all those years, still holds on to his weapon, Transcarpathia still defends the ancient Verecke. Smitten by famine, and "malenkij robot", Hundreds and hundreds of our bretheren walked into their doom, Now the waters of the Latorca are bitter with tears, Its white foams swallowed all the torment! chorus.

Cisniansko-Wetlinski Landscape Park is the largest protected territory of the East Carpathians Biosphere Reserve with a total area of more than 500 sq km. Wysoki Dział ridge is 25 km long and 10 km wide. On the top of Lopiennik summit there is a table as a memory of poet's Wincent Poll ascent in 1833. A massive landslide which occurred in 1907 created Duszatyńskie Lakes. In 1957 Zwiezlo nature reserve was established in order to protect this attraction as well as nearby primeval beech-fir forest. Another nature reserve called Sine Wiry protects the canyon of Wetlina river. San Valley Landscape Park with its 360 sq km covers the river system of the San from its source forming PL -- UA border to the Solina Lake. The park is mostly known for its interesting landscape and rich nature -- a range of mountain biotopes, and an astonishing richness of species -- about 130 bird species are under protection. Moreover it is the best habitat for the observation of rare wild animals, like the wolf and the wisent. Nadsanskyi Regional Landscape Park -- stretching along the San River on the Ukrainian state border with Poland, is accessible only with a permit, due to its proximity of the EU external border.

Sings Maria Macoskova. Archival record. Lemkos - one of several quantitatively and territorially small nationalities who also traditionally call themselves Rusyns (Ukrainian: Руснаки, Lemko: Руснакы, Rusnaky; sing. Руснак, Rusnak),are one of the four major groups inhabiting the Eastern Carpathian Mountains. Their language has been variously described as a Lemko language in its own right (literary Lemko language is one of the four literary norms of the Carpatho-Rusyn language), a dialect of the Rusyn language (a group of dialects which is, itself, sometimes described as a distinct dialect of the Ukrainian or Slovak dialect group). In any case, the Lemko tongue and the Ukrainian language are akin but not always mutually intelligible (ref: Best and Moklak)The Lemkos' homeland is commonly referred to as Lemkivshchyna (Ukrainian: Лeмкiвщина, Lemko: Lemkovyna (Лeмкoвина), Polish: Łemkowszczyzna). Up until 1945, this included the area from the Poprad River in the east to the valley of Oslawa River in the west, areas situated primarily in present-day Poland, in the Lesser Poland and Subcarpathian Voivodeships. This part of the Carpathian mountains is mostly deforested, which allowed for an agrarian economy, alongside such traditional occupations as ox grazing and sheep herding. This area was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until its dissolution in 1918, at which point the Lemko-Rusyn Republic (Ruska Lemkivska) declared its independence. Independence did not last long however <b>...</b>

On the territory of Slovakia, the Western Bieszczady are called Bukovské vrchy (Beech Hills). The Ukrainian corner of the Western Bieszczady between the Slovak and Polish borders, south of the main ridge, is called Skhidni Beskydy or Stuzhitski Beshchady. The Western Bieszczady Mountains are one of the best protected areas in Europe. A large chunk of the mountains is part of the East Carpathians Biosphere Reserve - the first trilateral UNESCO Man and Biosphere project in the world. It contains six protected areas within the borders of three countries.

Bieszczady National Park was established on August 4th, 1973 and covers an area of nearly 30.000 ha. It is the largest mountain and third largest national park in Poland. Wonderful mountain vistas, vast beech woodland and high probability of meeting wild animals -- these are the main features of Bieszczady National Park - the area fondly known as the 'Polish Wild East'. It is worth to remark that the plant cover and the fauna have been created in result of spontaneous secondary, regenerative succession, which has lasted here since the end of World War II. That ecological phenomena doesn't occur so long and at so large scale in other mountainous areas of Central Europe.

Serbia in the Middle Ages
Serbia in the Middle Ages
Serbs belong to the Southslavonic group of Indo-European peoples. As their tradition, culture, language, beliefs, and customs show, the ethnogenesis of Serbs goes far back into the past. Serbian ancestors, Protoslavs and Old Serbs, were described in the 5th century BC by Herodotus, under the names of Neuri and Budini, living north of the Danube in the region between Dniepar and north-eastern Carpathian Mountains. The first mention of the name "Serbs" appears in the 1st century BC (69- 75), in the Historia naturalis by Plinius Caecilius Secundus, who states that Serbs (Serbi) live on the coast of the Black Sea. In the 2nd century, Claudius Ptolomaius writes in his Geographica that Serbs (Serboi, Sirboi - Serboi, Sirboi) live behind the Caucasus, near the hinterland of the Black Sea. The first mention of the Serbian name on their present ethnical location appears in 822, in the work of Frank chronicler Einhardt (Annales regni Francorum). He confirms that Serbs are very numerous in Dalmatia. During the great migrations in Europe (5th to 6th century), Serbian ancestors arrive to the Balkan Peninsula from several directions and settle in the wide area between four seas (Black, Adriatic, Aegean, and Ionian). It is on this location that the eldest Serbian feudal states Raska (later Serbia) and Duklja (later Zeta or Montenegro) were formed. From the second half of the 12th century Raska expanded by taking over the Byzantine territory. The medieval Serbian state reached the height <b>...</b>

Western Bieszczady - part I.avi
The Bieszczady Mountains belong to the Northeastern Carpathians and they are usually divided into two mountain groups: the Western and the Eastern Bieszczady. Most of the main ridge of the Western Bieszczady constitutes the border between Slovakia and Poland. Its easternmost bit forms the Poland-Ukraine border. Europe's largest area of montane beech forest is found in the Western Bieszczady, where the borders of the Slovak Republic, Poland and Ukraine meet. In 2007 well preserved forest reserves eg Stuzhytsia, Havešová and Rožok were inscribed to the UNESCO's World Heritage List as Primeval beech forests of the Carpathians. The high mountain pasture in the Bieszczady and elsewhere in the Northeastern Carpathians is known as polonyna. Western Bieszczady rank among the wildest corners of Europe and can be considered as a true "Wildlife hotspot". There is no other place in Europe where nature has replaced human management.

Part 6: Romania: Szekelydobo - the village where shepherds battle huntersShepherds in the eastern Carpathian Mountains have many enemies: bears, lynxes, and wolves -- and now the hunters who kill their sheep dogs. Shepherd Lajos Vitez has a herd of 600 sheep. The law says he is entitled to keep two sheepdogs. But Vitez has twelve dogs and doesn't want to do without any of them, because they protect the sheep from wolves and other predators on high-altitude pastures. But hunters shoot at his dogs. They have leased an area from the Romanian state and organize hunts for Western tourists. One requirement for keeping their lease is that they must shoot sheepdogs that overrun the quota. And so now there is no peace in this Carpathian village.

This video footage comes from Vanatori Neamt Natural Park situated in the eastern part of Romanian Carpathians. There is a 180 ha acclimatization enclosure with about 30 animals. The Administration of the park implements an ambitious programme for restoration of this species to the wild. In December 2004 five European bisons were introduced to the wild in the easternmost part of Slovakia called Bukovské Vrchy (Beech hills), where the second part of this memorable video footage was recorded.
