The heir to the British throne, Prince Charles, will pay a visit to a rare herd of European bison in Poland's Białowieża forest next week.
"Prince Charles and his wife want to see the bison in their unique natural habitat," Jolanta Gadek, spokesperson for Poland's Podlasie voivodship was quoted by PAP as saying.
Some 800 European bison live in the primeval Białowieża forest, which covers part of Poland's border with Belarus. The endangered animal is related to the North American buffalo.
When in Poland, Prince Charles will focus on "cooperation in the area of environment protection, defense and matters concerning ethnic and religious minorities," according to a statement by the British embassy in Warsaw.
Prince Charles will visit Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary between March 15-23.
