The logging moratorium on protected forests has expired and the government would protect only a third of them for now. What should happen to protected state forests?

The moratorium that expired on 30 September was not extended. The environment ministry promises a gradual transition and an action plan, while conservationists say the temporary ban brought little progress.

  • Full ban: stop logging in every protected forest
  • Gradual transition, as the government plans
  • Only the most valuable forests get strict protection
  • Logging can continue, economic interests matter too
