It is forbidden to pick primroses in Belarus

In Belarus, it is prohibited to collect primroses: snowdrops, scillas, pasqueflowers, lily of the valley, and others.

Fines for individuals and organizations differ:

• for individuals, the fine ranges from 900 to 1350 rubles;

• for individual entrepreneurs - from 900 to 4500 rubles;

• for legal entities - from 1575 to 22500 rubles.

Collecting primroses is forbidden because it pushes early-blooming species to the brink of extinction and destroys the fragile forest ecosystem.
