Federation for Hunting & Conservation – Malta (FKNK) has issued a critique of the draft consultative Trees and Woodlands Protection Regulations, 2011.
L.N. 200 of 2011 headed ‘ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT PLANNING ACT’ (CAP. 504) incorporates the Trees and Woodlands Protection Regulations, 2011. FKNK said that “it is astonishingly clear that the draft regulations are the result of armchair thinking with little basis in reality.” FKNK continued that it “strongly objects to certain sections of the draft Trees and Woodlands Regulations. This paper seeks to identify those objections and the reasons behind them.”
