Water and Tatras Forest| 23mins
Director: Pavol Kral | Producer: Pavol Kral
Focus Years: 2008 | Country: Slovakia (Slovak Republic)
Synopsis:
Miniature, high mountains of Slovakia - the High Tatras - boasted a beautiful coniferous forest until 2004, which used to surround its massif. A small part is even covered with original primeval forests. This precious beauty was disturbed on 19 November 2004 by a huge wind calamity that uprooted 12,000 hectares of forests as well as a subsequent decision of the State Nature Conservation to leave the fallen wood without revitalization on a big part of the affected territory - in spite of knowledge and experience forecasting the problem of bark beetles, which reproduce on such wood extremely. The predictions of foresters came true. Today, the situation with the bark beetle cannot be handled anymore, and the whole Tatra spruce forest is drying up very fast. This film is one of five documentaries that were made by an amateur film-maker, forester Pavol Kral, dealing with this problem (can be seen on www.lesytanap.sk). It explains the significance of the forest as a part of the water cycle in nature and its significance for spring areas, such as the High Tatras, being an important part of Europe’s roof.
