A system for detecting groups of people by mobile phone signals has been launched in the Moscow region. Forest rangers will track where and how many vacationers are in real time.
If shashlik lovers are detected, for example, in an area of coniferous trees where it is forbidden to light fires, a duty shift of forest rangers will be dispatched to the location for inspection.
The monitoring system works on the principle of triangulation. It calculates clusters of unique subscribers and records if people are in one place for more than 15 minutes. After that, the dispatcher decides on further actions.
The Forestry Committee of the Moscow Region reminded that arson that led to a forest fire may result in both administrative and criminal liability.
For individuals, the fine will be up to 60,000 rubles, for officials — up to 110,000, and for legal entities — up to two million. In case of serious consequences, violators face imprisonment for up to 10 years.
