Trees within a bird reserve were felled using chainsaws to make room for an autocross event, according to reports. Although a ban on cutting was eventually issued to protect the area, the order arrived too late to prevent the removal of the vegetation.
Why the Reserve Vegetation Was Removed
The removal of trees was carried out to accommodate the requirements of an autocross competition. To clear the necessary space within the bird reserve, workers used chainsaws to cut down the existing greenery.
The Timing of the Cutting Ban
Protective measures were eventually put in place to stop the deforestation of the area. However, the ban on cutting was not enacted in time to stop the preparations for the racing event, meaning the damage to the reserve had already occurred before the restriction took effect.
