    In 2014 the indicators of illegal tree felling exceeded the indicators
    of the past two years. In this regard, the Ombudsman's report "On
    Human Rights Defender's Activities and Violation of Human Rights and
    Fundamental Freedoms in Armenia for 2014" outlines as the Ministry's
    dereliction of duty, "In 2014 proper supervisions and effective
    prevention measures were not carried out to prevent illegal tree
    felling, which resulted in exceeding the number of felled down trees
    as compared with the indicators for the past years.

    In 2013 the total number illegally felled down trees accounted for 2031
    as compared with 1860 in 2012, while the number of the illegally felled
    down trees was recorded 2114 trees in 2014. As compared with 2013,
    the number of detected violations increased for 2014, while damage
    caused to environment because of violations boosted by 75,400,000
    AMD as compared with 102.450.000 AMD recorded for 2013.

    Proposal: to take effective preventative measures to prevent illegal
    tree felling, as well as to enhance supervision particularly to
    exclude tree felling in specially protected areas."
