Social movement leader Timofey Bazhenov appreciated the decision of the Ministry of Natural Resources to ban fixed asset construction, deforestation and organization of biosphere polygons on the territory of reserves and in protected areas of national parks.
The reporter said that last year alone around 24,000 cubic meters of forest were illegally felled in specially protected areas. The total damage is estimated at 1 billion rubles.
“Such losses are generally viewed in material terms. But the losses suffered by the ecology of our country with each of these slaughterings are much more than the amounts announced, “Bajenov stressed.
He recalled that the animal world suffers from illegal slaughter, and asked how & nbsp; rather, stop the “barbaric development of specially protected natural areas”. According to Bazhenov, for this it is necessary to apply the most stringent measures.
The journalist also proposed his initiatives to preserve the green spaces of the Russian capital, among which – a moratorium on changing the boundaries of city park areas, as well as & # 39; an increase in the volume of compensatory restoration of plantations.
Previously, it had been reported that 11 species of animals were recognized as probably extinct in Russia. & nbsp;
