在欧洲，只剩下一些小块孤立的、自然度很高的森林。这些森林的结构、组成和功能是由自然动态形成的，长期以来没有受到重大的人为影响。在这方面，比亚沃维耶瓦森林在欧洲是一个独特的位置，森林连续覆盖近12 000年。与全新世历史上的其他欧洲低地森林相比，孢粉学、考古学和历史数据只记录了微弱的人为指纹。由于长期的保护，森林的很大一部分仍然是由起源于前造林时期的林分组成。此外，Biaowiejia森林的林分在20世纪因造林活动而改变，由于散布在整个森林中的具有高度自然性的林分斑块，有恢复的潜力。由于近世纪来，森林管理方面的冲突经常发生，因此有必要总结我们对森林历史和自然资产的了解，以帮助对森林的未来做出科学明智的决定。建议将不干预方法扩大到森林的波兰部分，以增加整个生态系统的稳定性，并提高其成功适应不断变化的环境条件的机会。这将增加比亚沃维耶瓦森林作为生物学、生态学和林业开放实验室的重要性。
In Europe only some small isolated patches of forests with a high degree of naturalness still exist. These are forests, whose structure, composition and function has been shaped by natural dynamics without substantial anthropogenic influence over the long period. In this respect, Białowieża Forest is a unique location in Europe, with continuous forest cover for close to 12,000 years. The palynological, archaeological and historical data document only a weak anthropogenic fingerprint compared to other European lowland forests in Holocene history. Due to long-lasting protection, a large portion of the forest is still composed of stands originating from the pre-silvicultural period. Moreover, the stands of Białowieża Forest converted by silvicultural activities during the 20th century have the potential to recover owing to patches of stands with high naturalness, scattered throughout the forest. As conflict over management of the forest has recurred regularly for close to century, there is a need to summarize our knowledge on the forest history and natural assets, to help making scientifically informed decisions over its future. Expansion of a non-intervention approach to the Polish part of the forest is suggested to increase the stability of the entire ecosystem and enhance the chances for its successful adaptation to changing environmental conditions. This will increase the importance of Białowieża Forest as an open-door laboratory for biology, ecology, and forestry.
