One war had not yet ended when the Republic was attacked by Moscow (1654), followed by the Swedish deluge (1655). Despite repulsing all invasions, the first symptoms of the disintegration of the Commonwealth's political system appeared during the reign of Jan Kazimierz (the first Sejm in 1652, broken off by the liberum veto, and the nobility's rebellion). The King abdicated, leaving Poland forever.

"Poland is a land of ancient primeval forests and thousands of lakes spread on hills and plains between the Baltic Sea and the high Tatra Mountains. History has endowed our country with a unique place on Earth, thanks to which beautiful Polish landscapes four times a year undergo extraordinary metamorphoses delighting with the dynamics of nature, its unusual colors and moods." The map “Nature of Poland” is a publcation unique and beautiful, full of images and symbols of the natural heritage of our country. It is a map - sanctuaries of Polish nature, which should, like the works of Mickiewicz, go under thatched roofs to give and strengthen in us a sense of connection with nature and responsibility for it. Maintained in the convention of old cartographic works, it tells about the treasures of nature that have survived to our time. It presents in decorative cartouches business cards of Polish national parks, gives the most important natural and geographical information about Poland, describes the forms of environmental protection used in our country, beautifully promotes Polish nature. Wishing to popularize the natural beauty of our country, we have published two twin maps, “Nature of Poland” and “Forests of Poland”, which in a complementary way present the overall resource of Polish nature. National parks are the mothers of Polish flora and fauna, but they are not a separate and independent natural creation, they are part of our natural environment, which includes many components such as forests, landscape parks, areas of protected landscape, agricultural land and, of course, water. National parks account for only 1% of our country's land area. The remaining 29% is made up of forest areas owned by the State Forestry Service.

This is a unique map on our publishing market. In addition to its classic cartographic content, it also presents a unique landscape image of Poland. We have combined two complementary views on one map. Our artists have painted Poland “from an eagle’s eye view” to illustrate the beauty of our homeland and its assets. Wanting to show the Polish mountains in a clear perspective, we have reversed the observer’s position to the north. We have marked the panorama with the most important cities, monuments, rivers, and forests. This is how this unique and practical landscape publication was created.

The "Forests of Poland" map presents a cartographic image of Polish forests, the structure and administrative boundaries of the State Forests, the headquarters of forest districts and regional directorates, as well as the location of the most important primeval forests, coniferous forests, forests, national parks and Promotional Forest Complexes in Poland. The decorative cartouches of the map show representative landscapes found in individual regional directorates, as well as selected animal species characteristic of the nature of our country. Forest areas cover almost 30% of the area of Poland. This is where the main natural resource of our country is located. Most of this area is managed by the State Forests, whose task, included in the mission of the company, is to protect and shape the natural environment. Each administrative unit of the State Forests, each forester is de facto ambassadors of Polish nature. They are the ones who perform this daily ant work, the effects of which are not always noticed, but will certainly be appreciated by future generations. It is to them that we owe the development and good condition of the natural well-being of our homeland.
