Michoacn: Illegally Cut Trees in the Monarch Butterfly Reserve
Zitácuaro, Michoacán: Elements of the National Guard seized 26.41 cubic meters of pinewood in a forest surveillance operation to combat illegal logging and smuggling in the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve.
The assurance was carried out on the Toluca - Morelia highway, in the municipality of Zitácuaro, Michoacán, where they detected a vehicle that transported wood in pine logs, in a green physical state, indicating their recent cut.
The driver tried to prove the legal origin through a forest referral with inconsistencies in its filings. The cut volume is comparable to more than 10 trees cut illegally.
For not respecting forest regulation, and based on Article 170, section II, of the General Law of Ecological Equilibrium and Environmental Protection, the precautionary assurance of the vehicle and transported wood was imposed as a safety measure.
