SUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENT - ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC BASIS OF THE "MASTER PLAN FOR USING THE STATE TERRITORY FOR FOREST GROWING AND FOREST MANAGEMENT"
From the point of view of the main environmental and economic problems of our time, issues of increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases are considered, the need arises to create a concept of sustainable forest management and improve the efficiency of use of the state's territory, not only from an economic point of view. Sustainable forest management, based on international criteria for assessing the state of forest ecosystems, will allow developing methods of forest management that covers the whole range of forest conservation problems and increasing the use of state land productivity. The implementation of the concept of sustainable forest management in Belarus requires the improvement of existing and the creation of new mechanisms for accounting decision-making to improve land use efficiency and their environmental functions. The reproduction not of individual elements of the natural environment, but of the entire natural complex (forests, fields, water, etc.) is the subject of a The purpose of the work is to justify the need to develop a strategic plan for the integrated use of natural resources of the state and control over their condition. Sustainable forest management in Belarus requires long-term land use planning in the state in order to increase the utilization rate of soil fertility. In our opinion, the "Master Plan" may be one of the main mechanisms for solving this global problem.
