Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the deforestation authorization met the requirements of Art. 5 LFo
Extrahierter Entscheid
The authorities did not sufficiently show that the project could only be realized at the chosen location and that the public interest outweighed forest conservation.
Extrahierte Begründung
The lower decisions lacked a convincing demonstration under Art. 5 al. 2 let. a LFo; the federal environmental office also questioned whether an alternative layout outside the forest was possible. The matter required renewed instruction and reasoning.
