- Summary:
- The publication describes the history of the European bison conservation in the Second Polish Republic and the role of the community of scientists centered around the idea of National Museum of Natural History. The idea, because the institution itself lasted for only 2 years (1919–1921), however, the next generations of researchers working in the fields of taxonomy and natural history museology refer to its legacy. The State Zoological Museum, integrated into the Polish Academy of Sciences in 1952, was the leading scientific institution and museum in the Second Polish Republic. Currently, its zoological collections are kept in the Museum and Institute of Zoology of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. One of the oldest exhibits featured as one of the protagonists of the publication – is a European bison from the Białowieża Forest acquired in 1823.
