EUROPEAN COURT OF JUSTICE STEPS IN AS FIGHT FOR EUROPE'S LAST PRIMEVAL FOREST ESCALATES

摘要

It's Europe's last surviving primeval forest and the European Court of Justice (ECJ) isn't about to meekly let somebody take an axe to it without lawful cause. On November 21, the court gave Poland two weeks to cease illegal deforestation in the UNESCO -protected Bialowieza forest or face fines of at least ?100,000 ($117,500) a day.
