The bark beetle infestation has undoubtedly threatened many known and unknown archaeological sites in recent years. Unfortunately, even sites that have already been protected by law as cultural monuments are at risk. It is obvious that some particular sites have been damaged and destroyed by logging and replanting, while others are located in areas at risk. All involved professionals strive to minimise the effects of bark beetle infestation on particular sites at various levels and varying degrees according to their capabilities. However, these challenging circumstances can also be seen as an opportunity to set up rules regarding information, communication, and coordination between different institutions having diverse interests and forest owners.
