The Woman Who Spoke To Animals
from Watch Her Cook · host Cassie Yahnian and Danielle LaRock
Deep in Europe’s oldest forest once lived a witch… or at least that’s what people called her. Simona Kossak, defined by her anything-but-ordinary life, was a biologist and Professor of Forest Sciences who dedicated herself to protecting the Białowieża Forest’s fragile ecosystem. Living in a remote cabin surrounded by her wild companions, she was as fierce in her activism as in her love for nature, leaving a lasting legacy on both science and conservation.
