Jordens vänner i Tjeckien kämpar för att rädda landets störst sammanhängande skogsområde som ingår i Natura 2000 från kalhuggning sedan den nya parkchefen har bestämt att kalhugga skogen för att förhindra barkborre och för att bygga skidliftar i nationalparken!
CITAT
Beautiful habitats of ancient mountain forests will be lost. The official reason for this is bark beetle gradation – the majority of the trees to be cut are said to be infected by bark beetle. However, bark beetle is a key species in mountain and waterlogged spruce forests and natural processes should be strictly protected in central parts of national parks. Environmental groups believe the beetle is simply an excuse to cede to logging interests who continually lobby politicians for new concessions.
Jan Strasky, the park director, is a former politician and a long-time critic of modern nature conservation. He famously said: "[b]Nature is the enemy and therefore one must fight it. If it wasn't for my ancestors who fought various animals I would not be here today[/b]”.
He has also announced plans for various projects such as, a ski lift, the enlargement of the road to the Austrian border to support the construction of new private buildings, and even the establishment of new municipalities inside the national park.
