How To Reconcile State Security And Nature Protection - Two Fundamental National Interests? Lithuanian Military And Environmental Experts Agree That The Need For A Training Ground In The Territory Of Kapciamiestis Is Indisputable. They Also Emphasize That Landfill Planning Must Be Carried Out Responsibly, Minimizing The Impact On Nature. Major Of The Lithuanian Army, Doctoral Student In Environmental Protection Kestutis Cekavicius And Ornithologist, Former Soldier Marius Karlonas Say That National Defense And Environmental Protection Are Not Opposites. Safety Is A Necessary Condition For Long-Term Nature Protection, And A Responsible Approach To The Environment Is Part Of Modern National Protection. M. Karlonas Pointed Out That Military Ranges Have Even Become Important Habitats For Some Species, But At The Same Time He Also Identified Possible Risks, Calling For The Application Of Compensatory And Long-Term Conservation Measures In Other Territories. Major K. Cekavicius Emphasized That The Planning Of The Kapciamiestis Polygon Is Based On Careful Analysis, And The Planned Forest Cuttings Will Be Limited, Divided In Time And Carried Out In Compliance With All Environmental Requirements. Decisions Are Made In Collaboration With Scientists, And Sensitive Habitats Will Be Protected As Much As Possible. The Practical Responsibility Of Soldiers To The Environment Was Also Emphasized - The Principle Leave The Environment Cleaner Than You Found It Is Applied During Every Exercise. The Discussion Took Place On The Kas Ir Kam? Podcast Of The Ministry Of National Defense. Summarizing The Conversation, Maj. K. Cekavicius Emphasized: Environmental Protection Without National Protection Is Temporary, And National Protection Without Environmental Protection Is Short-Sighted.
