Opposition LMP on Sunday said it has launched an online forest conservation service. Those who see trees being felled unsustainably are encouraged to report it on the website www.erdofigyelo.hu, Péter Ungár, the party’s parliamentary group leader, said on Facebook.
Ungár welcomed that the government’s original plan for easing the rules on tree-felling had been overwritten by a ministerial order. But the cabinet’s plan “is completely wrong”, he said, adding that his party believed everything possible must be done to protect Hungary’s forests. The group leader argued that trees that were cut down this year could not yet be used to solve the country’s energy problems this winter.
