After exposing aggressive logging taking place in the Carpathian forests, a team of Greenpeace activists, experts, and volunteers are embarking on a 40-day expedition across five countries of the Carpathian region, in order to put into action strict protection in Europe’s last virgin and old-growth forests.
Europe’s second-longest mountain range, represents a crucial stronghold against the climate crisis and biodiversity loss, warns Greenpeace.
At present less than 3% of these vital ecosystems are strictly protected in practice, with the majority exposed to relentless logging and exploitation. Greenpeace calls for the urgent strict enforcement of protective measures. Harmful human activities and rapid climate heating are destroying the equivalent of five football fields of Carpathian forests per hour.
