Romania loses its forests day by day

Two ha/hour. With this unbelievable rhythm Romanian forests were cut during the last twenty years.

During the last years forests were cut every day in Romania. The Romanian Authority doesn't even know how many forests are not administrated at the moment. On surfaces of around 3-500 000 ha, forests do not exist anymore.
Trees are cut by unconscious people, without taking care about the rules or laws. Nobody took serious regulations or sanctions last years, so locals kept on cutting and destroying their only source of oxygen.
The police says that it is very difficult to find those thieves because the area is enormous and complicated to reach; however a journalist with his filming team who were there to film a documentary about it found some of them. There is a complete indifference from the part of the authorities and local police.
Romania is a well known country for its beautiful plains, mountains and ecological areas. Statistics show that Romania is the last European Country in terms of forests.
