Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Thirteen logging enterprises in Sofala are to be denied licences next year due to various irregularities.<\/p>\n

Some forestry operators had already received warnings from the authorities, but continued with practices considered unacceptable.<\/p>\n

The lack of management plans for the reforestation of cut areas and the felling of trees with a diameter below the established in regulations topped the list of infractions leading to the penalty imposed.<\/p>\n

The head of the Department of Forestry and Agroforestry Plantations in Sofala, Paz Martinho, told Radio Mozambique that many loggers did not meet the requirements defined by the new forestry law and would be forced to cease activity unless they corrected the perceived anomalies.<\/p>\n

The law in question also establishes that, before licensing, operators must present equipment to be used in wood cutting for inspection.<\/p>\n

Before Cyclone Idai in 2019, Sofala province had around 90 forest operators, a number which has since dropped to 16.<\/p>\n
