Fauna
The deer population in Lithuanian forests is growing rapidly every year. This represents a threat to young pine trees, as roe deer, red deer and elk eat tree shoots and strip the bark off of trees, thereby damaging the forest and preventing it from growing.
Did you know that over 86,000 roe deer, 32,000 wild boars, 14,000 red deer, 4,000 elk and 3,000 badgers have been spotted in our forests?
About lithuanian forests
Forests in Lithuania cover more than one-third of the country and probably no less a part of the Lithuanian heart. The forest is so important in our country’s folklore that we are one of the few countries in the world where children are given the names of trees: Eglė (Norwegian spruce), Ąžuolas (oak), Liepa (linden)…
While managing forests we understand and take into account all social, economic and ecological factors. We respect the forest, its history and the benefits it gives to people and the entire country.
