The monitoring mission is visiting the site following the decision taken at the 45th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee to assess
the impact of the fence erected by Poland on the border with Belarus,
which also passes through the territory of the transboundary UNESCO
World Heritage Site Belovezhskaya Pushcha, on the ecosystems of the
natural reserve.
The head of state noted that he put forward the idea of setting up a single fund under the patronage of the president a long time ago. The idea got traction recently. First of all, the President's Foundation will be engaged in charity: to raise funds and provide assistance to those who really need it.
