In Transcarpathia, eco-inspectors involved border guards in detecting environmental violations.
The State Border Service uses aviation and conducts thorough photo and video recording, the State Environmental Inspection in Zakarpattia Oblast reports on Facebook.
The message said that the border guards will help identify:
- illegal logging;
- illegal gravel mining;
- spontaneous landfills;
- poaching facts.
It is noted that photos and videos of border guards will be evidence of criminal activity.
"The interaction with the border guards has already yielded the first results. Thus, in one of the districts, the pilots recorded probable forest violations," the report says.
Eco-inspectors emphasized that spawning of fish is beginning in the region, and therefore the ban on fishing, as well as on taking gravel and sand from rivers.
They called on the heads of the OTG to check their subordinate territories, clean up natural garbage dumps, and take control of eco-problems.
Ecoinspectors hope that strengthening the work of the State Ecoinspection and cooperation with border guards will become a huge obstacle for violators.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that Yuliya Yatsyk, a member of the People's Deputy and a member of the Temporary Investigative Commission on Illegal Cutting of Forests in Zakarpattia Oblast, suspected officials from the region's Prosecutor's Office of being involved in forest mafia schemes.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, in Zakarpattia, the Security Service of Ukraine exposed one of the enterprises that illegally mined andesite worth 309 million hryvnias.
