The Greek chapter of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) has slammed the leftist-led government for tabling a bill which, it said, effectively "rewards illegal interventions in forests and forest areas."

In a letter sent to Greek MPs Monday, the environmental group also criticized the government for failing to put the legislation up for public consultation.
