"Enraged by the way forest management has been done in Poland in the past few years, people began to organize, and a raft of activist groups were created," says Paweł Kisiel, a biologist and member of the management board of FOTA4Climate. The popular movement grew so big, in fact, that the new Polish government - in office since mid-December - has come to recognize the political power of the climate and environment movement and literally promised the exclusion of 20 percent of Poland's most precious forest areas from any more logging.
