What is good for nature, clear-cutting or not? Not politics but the judge decides.
Newsletter: Press Announcement, September 24th, 2024
ARNHEM | Thursday, September 26, 9:00 AM, an important trial will start in the Dutch courthouse of Arnhem, initiated by seven nature action groups(1) against the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Nature (LNV). They demand that the Code of Conduct for Forest Species Management be destroyed. The biggest objection concerns the clear-cutting as included in the Forest Strategy. The ministry has included clear-cutting as a forest management measure so that forest owners can start their management activities faster and on a larger scale. However, according to the nature action groups, clear-cutting causes great damage to forests and biodiversity.
