Crimean occupation authorities plan to rewrite the Red Book by the end of the year

(Freeze frame from the video)

The version of the Red Data Book edited by the occupiers will exclude 21 flora species. For some plants, they no longer see any threats, while others are no longer found on the peninsula.

This news was published on the Suspilne Krym portal.

As for whether the "contributors" have anything to add to the Red Data Book of Crimea, they will also add 50 species of plants, but these are mainly algae, mosses and fungi.

Do the conquerors have the right to "seize" something and what can this mean?

An Intent correspondent asked Ivan Rusev, a public figure and head of the research department of the Tuzly Estuaries National Nature Park, for a comment.

According to the scientist, this should be done by people involved in science. However, according to Ivan Trifonovych, the racists' first priority is self-preservation. This is loyalty to the authorities. It doesn't matter how good you are. And wherever there is a Russian, even if he is educated and titled, but unprincipled, there will be disaster.

"If a species of plant or animal is really rare and it is 'removed' from the Red Data Book, then this is ignorance and stupidity," Rusev summarized.

Ivan Rusev called the disappearance of any species as a result of Russian military actions anthropogenic pressure. That is, one where the impact of human activity on the environment can lead to various changes in nature.

In the temporarily occupied Simferopol, water bodies are rapidly shrinking amid a prolonged drought. The Salgir River has dried up, and water is disappearing from parks.

In the Bilohirsk district of the temporarily occupied Crimea, the occupation authorities plan to build a landfill for municipal solid waste worth more than a billion Russian rubles to bring and dispose of waste from the territory of the Russian Federation.
