Simona Kossak fought to protect Europe's oldest forest.
The locals called her a witch, because she chatted with animals and owned a terrorist-crow, who stole gold and attacked bicycle riders. She spent more than 30 years in a wooden hut in the Białowieża Forest (Poland), without electricity or running water.
A lynx slept in her bed, and a tamed boar lived with her.
She was 1 of the originators of the UOZ-1 repeller, a device that warns wild animals of passing trains.

(1943-2007)
