PRIMARY (PRIMEVAL) FORESTS
I stumbled upon this video on tiktok the other day where the user @/officialdoseofsaratonin talks about the last remaining rainforest in Europe - Perućica, which is located in Bosnia and Hercegovina. While Perućica truly is a wonder of nature, it is not a rainforest. And it is by far not the only one in Europe with the same status.
Tumblr media
1) Translating the word rainforest in Slavic languages is a little problematic. Rainforest is directly translated to prašuma (old forest), so, logically, it also translates back to rainforest the other way around (ergo the mistranslation in the video). But prašuma is often times used as another way to refer to a special reservation of forest vegetation. These reservations are specific areas with rare, often endangered plants or rare plant communities which are extremely ecologically important. They are a great scientific resource which shows how an un-managed forest behaves, lives and renews itself without human influence. As I mentioned, these areas are not managed (there's no established silviculture), aren't under any direct human influence, and are generally not heavily visited (they're not generally a tourist attraction because they're often dark, unkept, lacking paths and can be dangerous because of dry or dead trees; though they're not usually under highly restricted access). Therefore, a correct translation would be primeval, primary or virgin forest.
2) Perućica is one of many primeval forests in Europe which take up a total of 300 000ha (around 0.4% of all forests in Europe). Most of these primeval forests are located in Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Hercegovina and Albania. Just in the territory of old Yugoslavia there were 20 of them, but nowadays there are even more (as new ones get discovered or certified as a primeval forest). Just on the territory of Croatia there is 18 primeval forests, many of which have the European beech (Fagus sylvatica) or the European silver fir (Abies alba) as their main plant species. So the primeval forests are rare, but there is still quite a few of them around.
It is important to take tourist centered information, such as the video above, with a grain of salt and think critically of what type of content it is spreading. Information about these forests are relatively hard to find, at least as scientific data goes, especially on the internet, so misinformation is spread easily.

I did this colourization of what I assume is a mother and her 2 daughters. The woman in the centre is wearing zar (robe) and peča (black face veil). The girls are wearing bošča (shawls). The picture was taken in Bosnia sometime between 1918 and 1950.  The original b+w is from: https://gams.uni-graz.at/o:vase.2577
