"I can't just calmly go to the mountains. Every time I see illegal construction and deforestation. I photograph all this and write to everyone who can do something," he wrote Oleksii

He added that there used to be a thick forest on the shore, which has now been destroyed for construction. There is a possibility that new houses may be "washed away" during floods.
