Poland: 28 November 2021: Simona Kossak was a Polish biologist, ecologist, author, PhD in forestry, and uncompromising conservation activist
They called her a witch, because she chatted with animals and owned a terrorist-crow, who stole gold and attacked bicycle riders.
She spent more than 30 years in a wooden hut in the Białowieża Forest, without electricity or access to running water.
A lynx slept in her bed, and a tamed boar lived under the same roof with her. She was a scientist, ecologist and the author of award-winning films, as well as radio broadcasts. She was also an activist who fought for the protection of Europe’s oldest forest.
Simona believed that one ought to live simply, and close to nature. Among animals she found that which she never found with humans.
She was the great-granddaughter of Juliusz Kossak, the granddaughter of Wojciech Kossak, and the daughter of Jerzy Kossak – three painters who loved both Polish landscapes and history. She was also a niece of Maria Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska and Magdalena Samozwaniec. Simona was meant to be a son and the fourth Kossak – carrying easels and carrying on her famous surname. Instead, she spent more than 30 years in a wooden hut in the Białowieża forest. Simona believed that life ought to be simple and close to nature. Living amongst animals, she found something that she never could with her fellow humans.
