The Konik (Polish: konik polski or konik bilgorajski) or Polish primitive horse is a small horse, a kind of semi-feral horse, originating in Poland. The Polish word konik (plural koniki) is the diminutive of koń, the Polish word for "horse" (sometimes confused with kuc, kucyk meaning "pony"). However, the name "konik" or "Polish konik" is used to refer to certain specific breeds. Koniks show many primitive markings including a dun coat and dorsal stripe.

In 1936, Professor Tadeusz Vetulani of Poznań University began attempts to breed the recently extinct tarpan back to its original state. To achieve this he used horses from the Bilgoraj area descended from wild tarpans captured in 1780 in Białowieża Forest and kept until 1808 in Zamoyski zoo. These had later been given to local peasants and crossbred with domestic horses. The Polish government commandeered all the koniks that displayed tarpan-like features. The result of this selective breeding program is that semi-wild herds of koniks can be seen today in many nature reserves and parks, and can also be seen in the last refugium in Bialowieza Forest. Vetulani's breeding program is one of several attempts at breeding back the Tarpan. Other programs resulted in the Heck horse.

Janow Forests Landscape Park (Park Krajobrazowy Lasy Janowskie) - a protected Landscape Park on the Bilgoraj Plains between Zaklikow and Frampol. Janow Forests, adjacent to the Western Roztocze, are one of the largest forest area in the south - eastern Poland and in fact in Europe. The Park is shared between two voivodeships: Lublin Voivodeship and Subcarpathian Voivodeship.

Landscape Park, which includes the eastern part of the Janow Forests was created in 1984.
The Park area - 391.50 km ˛, the Park buffer zone area - 605 km ˛, thus, a total of almost 100,000 hectares. 80% of the Park is covered by forests - mainly pine, fir and pine and mixed, which in large part are natural. The remainder are ponds, swamps and bogs. There is located 7 monuments of nature and 6 nature reserves with a total area of 4264.69 ha. In the forests can be found 800 species of vascular plants, of which approximately 130 are protected species.

Forests are the mainstay of animals and birds. Janow Forests are one of the larger refuges of animals in the south - eastern Poland. There are numerous populations of deer, wild boar, elk, wolves, badgers, beavers, otters and foxes. Forests are also an important refuge of birds, there are about 170 species of birds. Janow Forests are especially valuable because of the avifauna inhabiting them. In the vicinity of the ponds you can find bittern, gray heron, shoveler, black tern and river tern. The peculiarity of these areas are refuges for the capercaillie and black grouse. The area is also inhabited by numerous birds of prey included white-tailed eagle, spotted eagle and lesser spotted eagle, black and red kite, marsh harrier and meadow harrier. In the Janow Forests can be found many species of reptiles: spotted gniewosz, adder, grass snake and lizards.

Moreover, beyond its natural beauty, the park lies within the area of partisan battles, which occurred in June 1944.
