Forest Rangers as Poachers? Cases Shaking the Forestry Department

Serious issues are arising from poaching cases involving employees of the Forestry Department. Three recent cases, combined with a more serious case involving deer pending in court, have caused significant concern. The Forestry Department is investigating the cases, and an emergency meeting is expected with the General Directorate of Environment and the Hunting Service. The allegations involve employees exploiting their positions, a lack of supervision in forest areas, and the illegal use of dirt roads.
