This not only contravened the law, but also violated the regime of protection of the territories of the nature reserve fund.

The court recognized the orders as unlawful and canceled the state registration. Three decisions in favor of the prosecutor's office have already been enforced, so the National Park will preserve its natural and historical potential for future generations.
