Stealing Serra da Lousã

google translation: "The wild west is here, on your doorstep: Reports of anguish have come from Serra da Lousã at the clear-cutting of trees, associated with the invasion of private and public property, the latter belonging to the Municipality of Lousã, in an area of the National Ecological Reserve (REN) and in the Natura 2000 Network (RN2000). There is very strong evidence of the occurrence of crimes of theft and recurrent disobedience, in the latter case, in view of the notification of embargo on cuts issued by the owners of the land in question. The Institute for the Conservation of Nature and Forests (ICNF) on its portal, claims that the logging operation is legal, given that the logging company has a “mandate” issued by the Institute’s virtual system. Apparently, this “mandate”, called the tree cutting manifesto (MCA), allows access to the property of third parties, without their permission, and to raid and steal whatever is desired. According to the legislation that approves the MCA regime, “the elements of the mandatory declaration and communications from [tree felling] operators are established by deliberation of the ICNF board of directors…”. Now, apparently, the possession of the land on which the operations will take place and the approval of the respective owners are excluded by the ICNF board of directors from the “elements of mandatory declaration”. The public institute, invested as national forestry authority, also claims that that the stands in question were “specifically planted for final cutting”. But who defines “specifically”? Who defines the type of operations to be carried out when cutting down trees? In REN and RN2000 areas, is shallow cutting or rather skipping cuts appropriate, taking into account the danger of soil erosion and its consequences in terms of water, as well as the native flora that is intended to be conserved? From the justification issued by the ICNF for this case in the Serra da Lousã, the decision-making power of the legitimate owners with regard to the forestry models to be adopted in the management of their properties appears to be at stake, taking into account the established legal framework.[...] But, not everything is worth it! The loss of autochthonous tree cover in Portugal has been too significant, with serious consequences for soils, water storage capacity, conservation of biodiversity, creation of conditions for the territorial expansion of alien and invasive woody species, with increasing impacts forest fires. non-industrial charcoal production, is headquartered in the municipality of Góis and holds forestry certification from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), corresponding to license FSC-C010103, with code: SGSCH-FM/COC-005081. In view of the case reported by injured owners, it is important to know whether the company that is carrying out these tree cuts has classified the wood extracted as holding certification under the FSC system. If this were the case, there is a high risk that the entire subsequent chain will be seriously compromised. If the extracted wood has not been processed as certified, which is expected, confirmation of a case of theft and disobedience corresponds to a gross violation of a basic principle of the FSC system, that is, compliance with all legislation applicable to your activity economic, not just forestry. This situation must be clarified as urgently as possible by FSC Portugal and, eventually, by FSC International. Trust in this system has been repeatedly called into question, with emphasis on Greenpeace's stance. Reports of what is currently happening in the Lousã mountain range have precedents. In November 2021, the Lousã City Council formalized the complaint of clear cuts in REN and Natura 2000 areas. On that occasion, the ICNF classified the case as “normal forestry activity”, as it was preceded by the issuance of MCA, the such a “mandate”. Interestingly, at the time, as now, this public institute only issued a Notice based on “the opening and widening of paths, as it constitutes an infringement…” In this situation in 2021, was the extracted wood subject to FSC certification? What remains of this case in the Serra da Lousã is that of the Western, where the “law” of the smartest reigns. This is a smart one who seems to have the “support” of a public entity and, the latter, government approval. What is happening in this region of central Portugal is reminiscent of cases that occurred in other parts of the world. It is unimaginable that they occur on our doorsteps!
