History Numerous swamps and peat bogs that once existed in Polesie were drainedin the 20th century, mainly in the Soviet times. In the 1920s and 1930s, Władysław Szafer proposed creating a nature reserve in the area of Olmany swamps, then located in Poland. At the end of the 1930s, Stanisław Kulczyński provided the scientific foundations for the creation of this reserve, but the outbreak of World War II thwarted these plans. At the end of the 1950s, the Soviet botanist Nikolai Smolski returned to the idea of protecting the Polesie marsh landscapes. The swaps were ...

Nymphaea Alba
''Nymphaea alba'', the white waterlily, European white water lily or white nenuphar , is an aquatic flowering plant in the family Nymphaeaceae. It is native to North Africa, temperate Asia, Europe and tropical Asia (Jammu and Kashmir). Description It grows in water that is deep and likes large ponds and lakes. The leaves can be up to in diameter and take up a spread of per plant. The flowers are white and they have many small stamens inside. Taxonomy It was first published and described by Carl Linnaeus in his book 'Species Plantarum', on page 510 in 1753. The red variety (''Nymphaea alba'' f. ''rosea'') is cultivated from lake Fagertärn ("Fair tarn") in the forest of Tiveden, Sweden, where it was discovered in the early 19th century. The discovery led to large-scale exploitation which nearly made it extinct in the wild before it was protected. ''Nymphaea candida'' is sometimes considered a subspecies of ''N. alba'' (''N. alba'' L. subsp. ''candida'' ). Distribution an ...

Lycopodiella Inundata
''Lycopodiella inundata'' is a species of club moss known by the common names inundated club moss, marsh clubmoss and northern bog club moss. It has a circumpolar and circumboreal distribution, occurring throughout the northern Northern Hemisphere from the Arctic to montane temperate regions in Eurasia and North America. It grows in wet habitat, such as bogs, ponds, moist spots on the tundra, and long-standing borrow pits.

Drosera Intermedia
''Drosera intermedia'', commonly known as the oblong-leaved sundew, spoonleaf sundew, or spatulate leaved sundew, is an insectivorous plant species belonging to the sundew genus. It is a temperate or tropical species native to Europe, southeastern Canada, the eastern half of the United States, Cuba, Hispaniola, and northern South America. Description ''Drosera intermedia'' is a perennial herb which forms a semi-erect stemless rosette of spatulate leaves up to 10 cm tall. Plants in temperate regions undergo dormancy during which they form a winter resting bud called a hibernaculum. As is typical for sundews, the leaf blades are densely covered with stalked mucilaginous glands which secrete a sugary nectar to attract insects. These then become ensnared by the mucilage and, unless they are strong enough to escape, are suffocated or die from exhaustion. The plant then secretes digestive enzymes from sessile glands and later absorbs the resulting nutrient solution to supplemen ...

Bombus Muscorum
''Bombus muscorum'', commonly known as the large carder bee or moss carder bee, is a species of bumblebee in the family Apidae. The species is found throughout Eurasia in fragmented populations, but is most commonly found in the British Isles. ''B. muscorum'' is a eusocial insect. The queen is monandrous, mating with only one male after leaving a mature nest to found its own. Males mate territorially and the species is susceptible to inbreeding and bottlenecks. The species builds its nests on or just under the ground in open grassland and forages very close to the nest. In recent years, populations have significantly declined due to loss of natural habitat. ''B. muscorum'' is currently listed as vulnerable in Europe by the European Red List of Bees. Taxonomy ''B. muscorum'' was one of the many insect species originally described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae.'' It was given the binomial name ''Apis muscorum.''

Calosoma Inquisitor
''Calosoma inquisitor'' (the lesser searcher beetle or caterpillar-hunter) is a species of ground beetle. The species is found in northern Africa, Europe (northward to southern Scandinavia) and East to Asia Minor, Iran and the Caucasus, with isolated populations in eastern Siberia and Japan. The imagines are predatory on various insects and their larvae, especially, feed on Lepidoptera larvae. They can fly well and are found not only on the ground, but also in bushes and on trees. In case of danger the beetle can fall and then threaten by lifting up the front body and spreading the mandibles. The females lay about 50 eggs. The hatching larvae are also predatory and develop very quickly. They're in the ground. The beetles emerge in June, but still linger in a diapause until next spring in the ground.
