State Inspectorate for Flora and Fauna Protection marks 11 years

27 января 2014

By Vladimir Korolyov: Only 270 inspectors are currently working in Belarus. However, during this time they have managed to apprehend and sue thousands of poachers.


It is worth noting that tightening of the penalty system lead to decrease in the number of detentions. More than half of all violations are committed by fishermen.


Over the years, the Inspectorate has revealed over 2,500 illegal weapons. 270 inspectors across the country control not only hunting and fishing, but also logging. Last year's maximum penalty, which is over 1 billion Br, was imposed on a forest estate.
