The recurring destruction of forests and forested areas, especially in summer, constitutes a major environmental problem, baring severe consequences on ecological balance and biodiversity, as well as on people’s lives and property. For this reason, the restoration of damaged forest ecosystems and the artificial forest reestablishment whenever natural regeneration is not deemed to be sufficient, is of significant priority to the State; hence, multiple public resources are made available, including EU funding.
This audit mainly tangled the question of these funds’ rational use and result yield. It also tangled the new institution of adoption for restoration and reforestation, in other words, the assumption of the cost and responsibility for carrying out the restoration and reforestation projects required in public forested areas, by individuals who express interest and are selected for this purpose.Download file
