摘要

摘要本文介绍了世界自然基金会(WWF)成员在俄罗斯山区进行的一项案例研究的结果。它审查了木材企业利用俄罗斯森林法的某些规定使环境犯罪合法化的方式。允许砍伐森林以处理患病木材,在一个有记录的案例中,这一规定被用作掠夺性砍伐森林的许可证。当世界自然基金会向有关部门提出环境犯罪发生的证据时,并没有采取刑事制裁,而是处以了轻微的行政罚款,这不足以震慑违法者。当局未能起诉和制止非法采伐行为,导致社会暴力。但是,在犯罪集团组织严密、与政府有联系的俄罗斯,暴力的社会抗议行为并不能阻止对森林资源的大规模破坏。

‘The Calf Fighting The Oak’: A Fight Against Illegal Logging In Russia
Abstract The article presents the results of a case study conducted in a mountainous region in Russia by members of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). It examines the way in which timber businesses exploit certain provisions of Russian forestry law to legitimize environmental crimes. Forestry clearing to deal with diseased timber is permitted, and in one documented case this provision has been used as a license for predatory deforestation. When the WWF confronted the authorities with evidence of the occurrence of environmental crime, criminal law sanctions were not applied, but instead mild administrative fines were imposed that are insufficient to deter offenders. The failure of the authorities to prosecute and suppress acts of illegal logging resulted in social violence. Violent acts of social protest, however, cannot stop the massive destruction of forestry resources in Russia, where criminal groups are well organized and connected to the government.

期刊介绍: Drawing upon the findings from island biogeography studies, Norman Myers estimates that we are losing between 50-200 species per day, a rate 120,000 times greater than the background rate during prehistoric times. Worse still, the rate is accelerating rapidly. By the year 2000, we may have lost over one million species, counting back from three centuries ago when this trend began. By the middle of the next century, as many as one half of all species may face extinction. Moreover, our rapid destruction of critical ecosystems, such as tropical coral reefs, wetlands, estuaries, and rainforests may seriously impair species" regeneration, a process that has taken several million years after mass extinctions in the past.
