Florida, Mar 14.- The council of the Municipal Administration of Florida ruled for a greater confrontation with the illegalities and criminal acts that are committed against the natural and forest resources, the flora and the wild fauna of the territory, which endangers the survival of species, ecosystems and reserves of green mass important for the environmental balance.
According to the claim of the local government executive, actions such as the improper use of fire, illegal hunting and fishing with the use of unauthorized gear, the illegal and indiscriminate felling of trees, the capture of protected or endangered species extinction, and the commercialization of these products will remain in the sights of the authorities in charge of preventing, controlling and condemning them.
During the previous year, more than 600 citizens were monitored or notified for behaviors prone to the commission of these acts, and so far this calendar year, another 120 received warnings, applying the measures provided in 10 of the cases for possession, transportation or trafficking of wood and specimens of wild fauna and impact on the environment.
The appeal of Florida Municipal Administration Council to increase the vigilance and protection of natural resources, flora, fauna and the environment was addressed first of all to the entities that produce or guard them and to public order agencies, the Ministry of Science, Technology and the Environment (CITMA), the State Supervision and the Forest Service, among others, but also includes the population, called upon to avoid being linked to this type of activities contrary to the Law, to condemn and denounce them.
