Photos: "You Will Not Go Unpunished". Tree Thieves at Dilijan National Park Massively Set Trees on Fire
Since the end of last year, tree thieves at Dilijan National Park have started a massive new stupidity, setting fire to any dead or decayed tree to later remove it as debris without legal consequences. This was reported by the initiative "Home of the Conservationist" on their Facebook page.
The post specifically states: "Many are even marking their territory with an axe so that other thieves do not take them. We have informed numerous officials about this.
The director of the National Park has promised that the wood will be directed to needy families and schools. But soon, only those who see the tree as a means to heat their homes will be allowed into the forest—no one else who cuts and sells dozens of trees for profit. And at that time, everything will fall into place, and we will leave here with peace of mind.
We also remind you that our employees' cameras and phones are recording online, meaning in real-time, every moment on the internet. This means that if, in accordance with old habits, ten people attack someone, damage, steal, or break the recording device, your beautifully charming face and vehicle license plates will still remain on the internet and will be accessible to the police. Well, of course, we will UNCONDITIONALLY follow up to ensure that you do not go unpunished."
