In Transcarpathia, the court forced the Svalyavsky forestry farm to compensate almost 890,000 hryvnias for illegal felling and damage to trees of various degrees during sanitary felling and the laying and expansion of tractor tracks.
Eco-inspectors discovered violations in the summer of 2021, but the forest farm refused to voluntarily pay such an amount, the Zakarpattia Regional Prosecutor's Office reports on Facebook.
This amount will be paid to the local budget of the Nelipinsk and Polyansk territorial communities.
In the message, it was noted that it was the continued non-payment of funds under the inspection report of the State Environmental Inspection that became the reason for the prosecutor of the Mukachevo District Prosecutor's Office to file a lawsuit with the Economic Court of Zakarpattia Oblast.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in Transcarpathia, the leadership of the Carpathian Biosphere Reserve withdrew approval for illegal sanitary felling. Under the pretext of gathering firewood for the population planned to cut down healthy hundred-year-old beeches.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, in Ukraine fines for violations of environmental legislation are distributed between environmental protection funds, state, regional and local budgets, which is determined by special laws. Administrative fines for environmental violations are fully transferred to the State Budget.
