The quarantine zone in Kirov was expanded due to a dangerous pest.
Specialists of Rosselkhoznadzor's Kirov Region office reported that the zone in the northern and urban forestry districts of the municipal formation "City of Kirov" has been expanded to 5,400 hectares. The decision was made on November 14.
The document amends the existing 2023 order, which imposed restrictions due to the spread of the Ussuri polygraph, a bark beetle capable of causing serious damage to coniferous forests.
The expansion of the quarantine area is related to the results of inspections of forest plots, where specialists discovered new pest outbreaks. The instituted regime entails restrictions and a set of measures to contain and prevent its further spread.
