Amman, Sept. 15 (Petra) – Authorities thwarted an illegal attempt to
cut down old trees in Ajloun governorate, according to the Royal
Department for Environment Protection and the Ministry of Agriculture
on Tuesday.
Using surveillance drones, law enforcement tracked suspect movements,
pinpointed the illegal activity deep within the forest, and
identified those involved.
Raiding the site, officers arrested suspects, seized chainsaws and
cutting equipment, then confiscated approximately 5 tons of
illegally harvested timber.
In a statement, Minister of Agriculture Saeb Khraisat hailed the
operation, calling forest preservation a “vital national
responsibility that hinges on strict inter-agency coordination.”
He added that integration of field intelligence with modern
surveillance technology boosts “monitoring efficiency,” which helps
authorities intercept illegal logging activities and enforce
environmental laws.
