Inspection of the scene of the incident as an urgent investigative action when investigating the facts of illegal logging of forest plantations
Forest resources are the national heritage of Russia, their irrational use can threaten the environmental safety of both a separate region and the country as a whole. The special significance of the issue under consideration is largely dictated by the growing level of criminalization of the forest industry, as well as the opposition of human interests and the environment, despite the fact that the right of citizens to a favorable environment is enshrined in Article 42 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, and its protection is one of the tasks of the criminal legislation of the Russian Federation, enshrined in Part 1 of Article 2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The fight against illegal logging is one of the priority tasks assigned to the state forest inspectors of the region. In this regard, the need to improve methods of combating crimes in the field of forest management is determined.
