The fine for picking dandelions in Kazakhstan applies only to rare species listed in the Red Book, Deputy Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Nurken Sharbiev said, Orda.kz reports.
According to him, ordinary dandelions are not banned. Liability applies only to the destruction of plants listed in the Red Book.
All Red Book plants are subject to a fine of 3,000 MCI for destruction. These are rare plants on the verge of extinction, which is why such fines exist. The fine was increased tenfold in 2019 at the initiative of deputies. It is now 3,000 MCI to prevent the destruction of rare and endangered Red Book plants. Roughly speaking, if 10 dandelions are picked, these plants could disappear completely,Sharbiev said at a government briefing.
According to the ministry, Red Book dandelions are most often found in Kazakhstan’s southern regions.
