Environment ministry: Czech environment not improving fast enough

Improvement of the Czech environment slowed last year, according to the annual eco report. The report will be presented to the government on Friday by Environment Minister Richard Brabec. Emission limits were exceeded on nearly one-fifth of the country’s territory and the national forests are unhealthy, suggests the report. Environmental groups are also warning that space for wilderness has diminished and warned against the further building up of landscape and agricultural land.
