Meeting of the session of the Committee of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe on forests and forest industry and the European Commission on forest husbandry will be held in Kazan

Lately, the forest sector of the Russian Federation has been actively participating in the program activity of the United National Economic Commission for Europe. At present, 72 sessions of the ECE have been held, in which about 300 representatives of forest structures took part inclusive of Russia and Tatarstan.

Such an event has never been conducted on the territory of Russia before. Last year the Minister of Forestry, Nail Magdeev, presented the Republic of Tatarstan and its forest husbandry during the session of the Commission that was held in Finland. One of the ways to improve the ecological situation is to augment forest areas and enhance the quality of forests. This is promoted by the largest in Europe Selection and Seed Center growing 12 millions of ball-rooted seedlings, as well as powerful protection of forests from fires, modern timber harvesting and wood processing. Moreover, for several times now, Kazan was the place where both the world and Russian political, economic and forest communities met.

       The session of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN ECE) on forests and forest industry and the European Commission on forest husbandry under the Food and Agricultural Organization in the Republic of Tatarstan will become the site for constructive exchange of opinions of the world forest community with regard to solution of the most burning problems of forest industry.
