the largest fire in Poland in the 21st century

A fire that for several days turned the largest national park into a scorched wasteland Spring 2020 in Biebrza National Park was supposed to look like it does every year. Vast marshes and peat bogs were beginning to revive after winter, and the Biebrza Valley was filling with the sounds of birds returning to breed. This unique area, considered one of the most valuable natural regions in Europe, suddenly became the scene of the largest fire in Poland in the 21st century. The fire, which broke out in April, consumed thousands of hectares of protected nature and left behind a landscape of devastation.
