© Centre for Scientific Tourism in Slovakia A Slovak/English edition available NOTE: The 1st edition of the Slovak Primeval Forests" sold out (August 2002). We have sent hundreds of copies to the UK, Germany, Switzerland, France, Canada, Sweden, Ireland, Luxembourg, Austria and Belgium and many other countries. But as new orders are coming in, we already plan publishing the 2nd, reviewed and extended edition. It should appear in French and English before in the early 2003. The territory of Slovakia is one of those areas where natural forests, minimally impacted by mankind activities and still featuring original tree species composition as well as structure and texture, have survived to date. Among European countries, Slovakia takes a leading position regarding the overall number, area, diversity and even distribution of preserved primeval forests across all altitudinal vegetation zones. Their current patterns are equally dramatic and interesting as their origin and evolution. Our brand-new book narrates their fascinating story.
In no other European country than Slovakia there are more than seventy primeval forest reserves. What is more, the remains of primeval forests in Slovakia cover a wide range of tree communities, for instance oak forests, mixed forests with beech and fir as well as the mountain spruce forests. This concise document is a "peek" into four of them. It also explains the importance of primeval forests for the theory and practice of the sustainable, site-adapted forestry.
Among those who use the film for educational purposes worldwide ranks for instance the Forestry Department of the renowned Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. To watch screenshots or previews (45 s each) from
