Every year in the Irkutsk region and neighboring regions, the fire and black loggers destroy hundreds of thousands of hectares of forest. This year, the fines for illegal logging will increase tenfold. Those who mined the forest legally, under the new rules, are obliged to restore it. The landing site was not chosen randomly. a few years ago on this spot raged the element of fire, which almost completely destroyed the forest of ancient pines. The action "Plant a tree" is financed by funds, collected by the people of Russia through one of the sites. Anyone could choose a site and using a credit card, for example, to pay for the planting of trees. In the next few years foresters will closely monitor the pine trees and protect them from fire.
