Over the past 3 years, forestry specialists of the Republic of Tatarstan have managed to reduce the area of outbreaks of forest pests and diseases by 31.2 thousand hectares. This became possible thanks to the complex of forestry works and sanitary and recreational activities.

This is cold weather, prolonged drought, and high air temperatures,” says Alexei Mosunov, head of the sector for the protection and protection of the forest fund of the Ministry of Forestry of the Republic of Tatarstan. “Therefore, it is very important to inspect the forests on time and take the necessary measures.”
