In Kyiv, 15 land plots with a total area of 2.25 hectares, the market value of which reaches 90 million hryvnias, were returned to the Holosiivskyi National Nature Park.
In 2013, the Kotsyubyn Township Council transferred them to private ownership, the Kyiv Regional Prosecutor's Office reports on Facebook.
It is noted that the prosecutors of the department ensured the execution of court decisions and returned the lands of the national park to the state.
The message emphasized that the prosecutor's office filed 342 lawsuits in the interests of the state, represented by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, to claim land plots of the nature reserve fund from illegal possession. So far, 282 lawsuits have been settled, and consideration of other lawsuits is ongoing.
As you know, Holosiivskyi National Park is the only one in Ukraine and one of the few national parks in the world located entirely within the boundaries of megacities.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that public figure Maksym Bakhmatov and Deputy Minister of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources Oleksandr Krasnolutskyi held a series of meetings to save the Holosiiv National Park of Kyiv. They discussed the problems of building the Bilychan Forest, preserving the Holosiivska Tower, and returning the Holosiiv Forest to the status of a recreational and natural area.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, the Economic Court returned 375 hectares of land of the "Troyeshchynski luky" reserve to the territorial community of Kyiv. The value of this land reaches 10 billion hryvnias.
