The letter of the Climbing Affiliation of Ioannina to the native Government referring to unlawful camps within the Drakolimnes of the mountains of Epirus:
Women/Gents
Ultimate summer season we witnessed, both in my opinion or via bulletins on Social Media, unlawful vacationer actions in herbal monuments of our house at an altitude of 2000 meters comparable to Drakolimni of Tymfi, Drakolimni of Smolikas, Drakolimni of Grammos however and Verlinga, the pretty valley with meanders in Lakmos. Particularly, excursions with camps and in a single day remains for a large number of teams in those ecologically delicate spaces are marketed and performed by means of corporations of doubtful prison standing. It’s widely recognized that during Greece unfastened tenting is against the law, and if the Legislation is regularly regarded as too strict and the putting in place of a tent in nature is lost sight of by means of the Government, the similar can’t be true for 42 tents that we noticed in the summertime in Verlinga. So-called selection leisure corporations take campers to secure ecosystems, defiantly ignoring the Legislation. And whilst sane mountaineers depart simplest their shoe prints within the mountains and take simplest the pretty photos of nature, within the above circumstances garments, scraps, filth, or even half-extinguished fires are left in the back of.
The Climbing Affiliation of Ioannina does no longer have the appropriate to put in force the Legislation. However the State no longer simplest has it, however could also be obliged to do it. We consider that an effort to keep an eye on a wide variety of actions in those spaces will have to in any case start, beginning with the most simple: the position of data indicators pointing out that tenting, swimming, fishing, lights fires and usually any roughly destructive process are strictly prohibited to the pristine nature of those spaces. It is one thing simple and we wish to consider that by means of subsequent summer season this primary however very essential step may have been taken to enhance the location.
