According to environmentalists, illegal felling of trees in the Dubky Reserve Park in Mykolaiv caused damage worth UAH 2.4 million.
This was reported by the State Environmental Inspectorate.
The inspectors found that unknown persons cut down three trees and trimmed the branches of 58 other trees of different species without any permits.
The State Environmental Inspectorate emphasized that such actions are a direct violation of the law. As the experts reminded, according to Article 30 of the Law of Ukraine "On the Nature Reserve Fund of Ukraine," any felling, including sanitary or recreational felling, as well as other actions that may disrupt natural processes in the ecosystems of these territories, are prohibited within the protected tracts.
Currently, the inspectors are preparing all the materials on the violation to be submitted to law enforcement agencies. This is necessary to identify the perpetrators and bring them to justice for the environmental damage caused.
As a reminder, the destruction of the nature of the Crimean Mountains continues in the occupied Crimea. The occupation authorities are building the Bakhchisaray-Yalta road, which passes through mountainous terrain, causing significant environmental damage. This was shared by the so-called "Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Crimea" Yuriy Gotzanyuk.
As part of the construction of the new road, the occupiers are actively conducting drilling and concrete work, as well as removing soil. In total, they have already drilled 36 wells and concreted piles with a total volume of over 500 cubic meters. According to Mr. Gottsanyuk, the work was behind schedule before, but all the issues are being resolved promptly. The deadline for completing the installation of bored piles is October 25.
Meanwhile, a huge oil slick formed as a result of a leak in the port of Novorossiysk on August 29 approached the shores of the occupied Crimea. According to Sergei Stanichny, who works with the Russian Ministry of Health and Safety, the area of the slick is about 350 square kilometers and its volume is at least 10 tons.
