Petropavlovsk residents are outraged by deforestation near Lake Khalaktyrsky
In the vicinity of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, vacationers came across a large area of cut-down forest, Kamchatka.Today reports.
Residents of the peninsula share footage of a wasteland near Lake Khalaktyrsky, where only the stumps from dozens of birch trees remain. There is heavy machinery on the site.
“The whole forest was cut down near the lake. There is a huge territory here, and there used to be a green zone. Who gave permission to cut down the trees?” the authors of the video ask.
Residents of Kamchatka are confident that large-scale construction is planned near Lake Khalaktyrsky, and they urge officials to investigate the situation. The authors of the video ask to find out if there are necessary permits for activities in the area, which may be a water protection area.
