About 60% out of 618 species of vertebrates found in Poland live in forests. Civilization has undermined the balance and rules of forest ecosystem. It influences also the animals living there. That is why animal stock, ways of nursery, as well as the possibility of preventing damage caused by game are regulated by Polish and European Union law. Hunting is an important part of forest management. The game animal management is handled in accordance with the rules of ecology and rational forest, agricultural and fishing management. It is conducted by hunters of Polish Hunting Association (Polski Związek Łowiecki) and foresters. Hunting includes: animal breeding, protection and gaining animals by means of hunting or trapping.
