Mohammad Davich, environmental activist: The implementers of the tourism center project in the Elimalat forest had stated that they cut down 3,000 trees.

Davich said about the exact amount of trees cut down in the Elimalat forest: These three thousand trees are their own statement, but environmental activists in the region say the number of trees cut down is over 4,000. Officials from the environmental protection and natural resources attended the unveiling ceremony of this plan.

In reactions, they were denying the amount of trees cut down. Ultimately, the prosecutor said the offenders stated in their declaration that 3,000 trees have been cut down, and how can you deny that? However, it is still unclear how serious the halt of this project is. / Entekhab
