Forest roads in primary forests in Retezat–Țarcu

Several new forest roads appeared during the state of emergency, including in European protected areas in the Retezat Mountains and even in forests inventoried as primary forests. No legal log transport is recorded this year in the areas investigated by Agent Green, although the newly built roads reach right up to the alpine zone. Romsilva’s Deva Forestry Directorate refuses to give us access to information about the areas concerned, which is why we will file a criminal complaint. These roads open up new wild valleys to massive logging while European Commission infringement proceedings are underway.
The photographs were taken in June 2020 in the Retezat–Țarcu mountain group.
