Lack of marks is no excuse

Republican landscape reserves “Medium Pripyat” and “Olmansky swamps” are specially protected natural territories with unique, standard or other valuable natural complexes and objects of particular ecological, scientific and aesthetic value, in respect of which a special regime of protection and use has been established.

Around the perimeter of the approved border of the specially protected natural area (PA), as well as at the border crossing of the PAs by roads, at the places of intended passage (passage) of people, in recreation areas and other places of mass stay of people information signs are installed. In order to organize organized work on compliance with the established security regime, work on installing and updating information signs is carried out every year.

Over the past year, there have been more cases of property damage to organizations of varying degrees of severity. Some irresponsible citizens allow themselves to violate the law and, unfortunately, break and steal informational signs. So, on the border of the reserve “Medium Pripyat”, north of the settlements of Semigostichi and B.Maleshevo, information signs were stolen once again. But this is your money! Therefore, first think about your actions before you do anything. After all, information signs are made at the expense of your tax deductions.
