[01] Preveli palm tree forest designated for reforestation
The prefecture of Crete on Monday designated for reforestation the
expanse of the Preveli palm tree forest, which was totally destroyed by
a wildfire in August.
According to the local authorities' announcement, camping and grazing
are prohibited in the area for the next 10 years. The cutting of trees,
branches, brush and shrubs is also forbidden, as well as all kinds of
recreational activity, such as camping, biking, etc. The decision
prohibits, in general, any action that may further harm the already
ravaged environment, in a bid to restore and protect the forest's
ecosystem.
