In Transcarpathia, eco-inspectors found that one of the Ukrainian wind energy companies removed the soil cover on an area of about 350 m2 without the appropriate procedure on the territory of Lyutyanska Golytsia Mountain in the Polonynsky Range massif.
Currently, they are calculating ecological damage, in particular, determining whether red-listed plants were damaged, the State Ecological Inspection in Zakarpattia region reports on Facebook.
It is noted that violations were discovered by eco-inspectors together with a representative of the initiative group of the Uzhhorod National University. They called the investigative team of the Perechyn police department, which should enter this fact into the EDPR and start an investigation.
"Employees of DEI, together with eco-activists of UzhNU, are establishing similar damages in other places in the massifs of the Polonyn Ridge," the message emphasized.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in Transcarpathia, in the Mukachevo district, Verkhovynskyi Wind Park LLC planned to install 30 wind turbines in the Nizhnyovoritsk Territorial Community in March 2023. Local eco-activists opposed such construction, arguing their position with the negative impact of wind turbines on ecosystems.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, in Transcarpathia near Tyachev, a criminal scheme was uncovered by a company that, under the guise of an agricultural firm, extracted 150,000 tons of sand and gravel worth 405 million hryvnias.
