forests

Just in a couple of years, the situation in Lithuanian forests and lakesides changed dramatically. Experts of environmental agencies and national parks collect fewer bottles that are left in nature. And they know the exact reason for this change.

Lithuanian Environment Minister Kestutis Mazeika on Wednesday ordered the State Forestry Enterprise to halt clear-cutting at Punia pinewood, one of the most valuable forests in Lithuania.

Lithuania's government on Wednesday gave permission to fell part of the forests in Svencionys and Jonava Districts for the expansion of the Pabrade and Gaiziunai military training areas.
