Bark beetle caused a lot of trouble in the Ukrainian forests

Trees are dying in large numbers.

Due to the Invasion of bark beetle in Ukraine have destroyed about 350 thousand hectares of forest invasion of the bark beetle in Ukraine have destroyed about 350 thousand hectares of forest invasion of bark beetle in Ukraine withered about 350 thousand hectares of forest. The area is the four Kiev.

Experts predict: if you do not start to cut down the affected trees, in the coming months this figure could rise by a third. “Here saniye fungi. It damages the vascular system. Puts a mushroom is capping the ascending flow, i.e., the moisture supplied to the roots,” explains Constantine Forester forestry Oleg Zarva. Pests spread very quickly. Infected one tree per month infects three dozen around.

In other States, the problem is solved by sanitary cutting easier – for example, in neighboring Belarus ahead of the curve. “The liberal rules we have in our document, we can more flexibly react – without any extra ballots and bureaucratic delays”, – said the head of the Ministry of forestry of Belarus Nikolay Yu. But in Ukraine, this problem in the past year has implemented new sanitary regulations. “To hold the cabin and cut down a sick tree, it is necessary quickly. And with our bureaucratic obstacles it may a month or two”, admits a member of the international charitable organization Peter Tests.

The government also claim that the new health regulations were introduced it was at the request of the public, activists and environmentalists, because in forestry, without any form of abuse is not treated. Under sanitary felling destroyed trees are quite healthy and, accordingly, someone on this enriched. “For example, in Lviv, reserve “a Fucking rock” – a good beech forest, there was a sanitary felling, which was entirely inappropriate. Undoubtedly, the Leskhoz to earn,” – says Tests.

In the Ministry of environment believe that the problem is primarily related to the global climate changes on the planet. “Global reason is the changes that happen in the environment, and some there are superficial reasons to be the reasons that you just described,” – commented on the situation Deputy Minister of ecology and natural resources of Ukraine Vasyl Polujko.

In Derzhlisgosp insist that the new changes need to be made and I want to address this issue in the Cabinet. Independent environmentalists say that we need to deal with pests-bark beetles, and those who are for the enrichment of inappropriate cuts healthy trees.
