The company’s timber trucks even freely pass through the forest protection and management station.
During a working session in Dak Lak province on June 20, the PM demanded authorities of the five regional provinces completely end natural forest timber exploitation in any forms and banned the cultivation of agricultural plants in the forests.
He also asked local public security and army forces and People’s Procuracies to investigate and prosecute any deforestation cases, even those cutting down only a tree in the forest.-VNA
