DEVELOPMENT OF THE SYSTEM OF FOREST RELATIONS AS A MONOPOLY OF STATE OWNERSHIP OF FORESTS IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

In relation to forest land, the owner has the right to sell all or part of it in accordance with the procedures and rules established by law. The owner is free to make decisions that determine the use and reproduction of forests, in particular, the volume of logging, being guided by economic interests, without any restrictions in the form of directive established allowable cutting area and cutting ages. Restrictions on the use and reproduction of forests are imposed only by forest and environmental legislation. These restrictions are mainly predetermined by the requirements for the ecological condition of forests, the ability of the latter to perform public environmental and social functions. These requirements are implemented in the forest plan, the provision of which by the forest owner to the state forest management authorities is mandatory for any economic activities.
