Measures to detect violations are strengthened in the national parks and reserves of Russia

The press service of the Ministry of Natural Resources reported that summer activities are being carried out in the specially protected natural areas of the country to curb possible violations of the environmental regime. State inspectors identify intruders and stop attempts to damage natural complexes, flora and fauna, as well as cultural and historical sites.

In the Sochi National Park, a raid took place on the territory of two forestries of the Lazarevsky district of the resort city. As a result of the audit, several administrative protocols were drawn up for violation of environmental legislation in the area of the recreational facility "Waterfalls Psydakh-Shapsug". Tourists were reminded that the movement of vehicles along the rivers is prohibited, as well as the making of fires in forests and recreational facilities.

In addition, in the vicinity of the village of Solokhaul, several car owners ignored the notices banning parking and movement of cars within the water protection zone and parked their cars in the bed of the Shakhe River. During the raid, the facts of organizing picnics with car parking in the bed of the Shakhe River were also discovered.

Another raid took place on the territory of the mountain cluster of the Shushensky Bor National Park in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Its purpose was to identify the alleged places of mining by violators of the regime of the national park. Inspectors surveyed about 80 km. The foot patrol area covered the top of the Maly Abdyr tract. In addition, a detailed survey of the areas adjacent to the lakes "Yuzhnoye" and "Bolshoe" and the pre-bald zone of the Borus Ridge was carried out. As a result of the raid, no violations were identified.

In the Krasnoyarsk Territory, on the territory of the protected zone of the Putoransky Reserve, in the water area of ​​Lake Lama in the Pyasino River basin, a case of illegal fishing with the use of prohibited fishing gear - a fixed net was recorded. The violator had to pay a fine and compensate for the damage caused to aquatic biological resources.

In the water area of the Tsimlyansky reserve, more than 6.5 thousand poachers' bottom hooks were taken. Such hooks are attached at a certain depth under water on a system of ropes and floats. There is no chance of survival for caught fish or other animals. It is not always possible to save an entangled animal. Most often, when trying to get out of such a trap, the animal dies.
