Do not chop, men!

In the summer initiative group, in the summer, it connected to solving the problem of large-scale deforestation in the Yamnoye-Builder area. I, as a member of the IG, watched the documents provided by local residents, and wanted to express my opinion.

First of all, I was surprised that the attention of the officials of the Vantit community Alexei Voronkov paid attention to this problem back in 2011, the secretary of the public environmental council Julia Aristov in 2012 was before the start of the destruction of the forest, but the officials did not respond.

At the moment, deforestation is in full swing, local residents are talking about the appearance of "kilometers". Appeals to various authorities: the administration of the Yamnoye, the Department of Natural Resources of the region, the Internal Affairs Directorate, the Prosecutor's Office, Forestry Management, etc. did not give any result. The only reason is: according to officials, the owner of the site has the right to do everything he wants with the forest.

An interesting position in the Yamnoy administration, when local residents are addressing them about the cut, they cannot say anything concrete. As if the administration has nothing to do with this problem. However, I have information that when a potential buyer of the site turned to the administration, officials showed much more awareness. They very strongly recommended that one of the beautiful plots of land, which are located right next to the forest.

It is clear that everyone wants to live in an environmentally friendly area. However, I would like to warn the buyers of plots in Yamnoye. Firstly, it turns out that with your means you finance the destruction of Voronezh forests. Secondly, you may have problems using your plots for construction. This is if the defenders of the forest are able to legally confirm the value of the Yamnensky forest.

What are the ways to achieve this goal, based on the experience of saving the Northern Forest? First of all, the IG “Northern Forest” recommended local residents to collect signatures in defense of the forest, and at the moment about 1,400 signatures have already been collected by residents of Podgorny. We sent a letter in the name of Governor Gordeev in which we inform that the situation with the cutting of the Yamnensky forest provokes acute social tension, as evidenced by the collected signatures. We hope that the inhabitants of Yamny will be able to collect no less signatures.

In the position of the owners of the sites on which the forest grows, there is one weak place. In the documents for the right of property, the encumbrance is not indicated, the forest was carried out as "wood-shrub standings." This is illegal, and therefore forest defenders can count on the fact that the forest will be preserved. In addition, no one has canceled the right of people to a favorable environment, which is enshrined in the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Anyone who destroys forest wealth to please selfless interests is actually engaged in anti -people's activities aimed at undermining the environmental and social well -being of our country, takes our children hope for a healthy and happy life. I think most ordinary residents of Voronezh will agree with me, and all honest and not involved in corruption officials.

In general, it is too early to give up, and there is still a hope for the salvation of this beautiful forest.
