Krzysztof Kluk, the first Polish botanist and florist of the Enlightenment, lived and worked during the heyday of intellectual life in Poland. I lis life and activity have always attracted the interest of biographers: indeed, the first biography of the scientist was written by Szymon Bielski, when Kluk was still alive. However, the numerous details of his biography, including his life, education, successive phases of professional career, the conditions in which worked in the provinces, as well as the importance of his contacts with other scientists, make it now possible to present a more general, synthetic approach to the scientific phenomenon of Krzysztof Kluk. The present article is devoted to such a synthesis. The role of the scientists is discussed from three points of view: (i) firstly, the article presents the role played by Kluk in Polish botany, and the lasting contribution he made to it: ( ii) secondly, it considers Kluk’s work against the background of comparable work abroad, and gives an assessment of the quality of his work in this respect; (iii) thirdly, the article discusses the Kluk’s role in the intellectual life of his times. When viewed against such a broad background, Kluk’s unique position in Polish botany becomes even more salient. The ten years between 1781-1791 were one of the most important periods in the history of Polish botany. It was then that a foundation was laid for modern botanical writing. One of the works that contributed to the canon of such writing and opened the path to next generations of florists, was Krzysztof Kluk’s three-volume Dykcjonarz roślinny [A dictionary of plants] (1786-188). In recent years, world science has taken a keen interest in testimonies relating to the state of the natural environment in various periods of history. The renewed interest in the person and work of Krzysztof Kluk, which we are now observing in Poland, seems to be part of this current tendency in the history of science.

Scientific foundations of the protection of nature date back to the 19th century and were ever since further refined on the basis of thorough natural research of the most prominent scientists from many countries. Polish scientists stood out with their commitment in shaping and implementation of the protection of nature; here the names of such naturalists as for example Władysław Szafer (1886-1970) and Walery Goetel (1889-1972) should not be omitted. The result of their pioneering activity and many years’ endeavours was inter alia the first in Europe frontier national park in Pieniny created at the beginning of the 30s of the 20th century, at the border of Poland and Slovakia (then Czechoslovakia). However, despite many years of intensive activity of multitude of scientists and defenders of nature at the Tatra mountains, the initiative of creation of the first planned frontier national park there was not realized. Walery Goetel, who took part in setting the Polish-Czechoslovakian frontier and, together with other naturalists, also strived for taking into consideration the protection of nature, was especially committed and full of initiative. Thanks to his exertions, in the so-called Cracow Protocol (which settled the question of borders and borderland of Poland and Chechoslovakia and was finally signed in May 1924) die governments of both countries were advised to settle an agreement concerning national park. It was based on a similar convention made by the United States and Canada. That’s how the long-term exertions to create the National Park in Pieniny mountains enjoyed success, despite the lack of final legal regulations. During the ceremony at Szczawnica on August 31st 1930, Polish Pieniny were announced to become the national park,. Then on June 1st 1932 the regulation of the Minister of Agriculture was proclaimed on the creation of a special entity called „the National Park in Pieniny”. In the same year the activity of the Slovakian Natural Reservation situated on the other side of the border was started. Thanks to these events, on July 17th 1932 the creation of the first European frontier national park was announced.
