Belovezhskaya Pushcha National Park is a national park within parts of the Brest Region and Grodno Region in Belarus adjacent to the Polish border. Since 1992 it is a preserved part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Białowieża Forest, the last primeval forest fragment of the European woodlands that once stretched across the European Plain. It is home to a large population of European bison, the continent's heaviest land animals. The border between the two countries runs through the forest with the Białowieża National Park on the Polish side of the border. Since May 2015 there has been a visa-free regime within the forest for hikers and cyclists at the Pierarova-Białowieża border crossing.
The Belovezhskaya Pushcha Biosphere Reserve occupies the area of 216,200 ha , subdivided into transition, buffer, and core zones.
The national park occupies 150,069 ha . It is located 70 km north of Brest. The nature reserves and the national parks cover 2.7% of the Brest Region territory and 2.6% of the Grodno Region.
