The satellite images vividly document the ecocide committed during the Armenian occupation of Karabakh. Illegal mining activities in areas such as Zod, Gyzylbulag and Vejnaly, coupled with widespread deforestation near villages like Chardagly, led to the destruction of forests, severe land degradation, and pollution of ecosystems.
Burned areas spanning dozens of kilometers further illustrate the deliberate environmental devastation inflicted on the occupied territories.
This ecocide represents not only a violation of Karabakh’s natural heritage but also a crime against humanity, as it threatens ecosystems, biodiversity, and future generations. Those responsible for these heinous acts must be brought to justice in international courts, as the systematic destruction of nature is a grave violation of international law.
These images stand as evidence of these crimes and underscore the urgent need for restoration and accountability.
