In Transcarpathia, in one of the regional landscape parks of local importance near Uzhhorod, eco-inspectors found 230 stumps from illegally cut trees.
The amount of damage has reached 28 million hryvnias, the State Environmental Inspection in Zakarpattia Oblast reports on Facebook.
It is noted that eco-inspectors called police officers to the scene. They must enter information into the Unified Register of Pretrial Investigations and conduct an investigation.
"The materials have been sent to the Transcarpathian Regional Prosecutor's Office for further response," the press service said.
The message emphasized that the country's natural resources are the property of the Ukrainian people.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in Transcarpathia, in a nature reserve, eco-inspectors discovered cutting down 30 oak trees, which caused damage in the amount of 7.4 million hryvnias. According to the instructions of the management, the park guards closed the entrance to the territory in order to prevent the work of eco-inspectors and the police.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, 426,000 hectares of European spruce are drying up in the Carpathians, a third of which is in the Transcarpathian region. One of the reasons for such a disaster was an increase in average temperatures, because this is a northern breed that grows at low temperatures and moderate humidity.>
