Abstract

Several million hectares of forest are cut down every year. One of the most important ways for preventing deforestation is improvement of forestry and criminal legislation. Not all organizations, enterprises and institutions are ready to comply with contractual agreements. It encourages loggers to commit crimes. The current forest legislation and measures taken do not reduce the number of offenses and crimes in the Russian forest industry. Researchers propose amendments to the Forest Code of the Russian Federation regulating the procedure of space monitoring over the forest. Deforestation is a Russian and global problem. Deforestation causes negative consequences affecting the environment, influences regional economies. Trees can be cut down for human needs and the needs of local governments, construction of facilities, sale, etc. According to the Russian Forestry Agency, the volume of illegally cut wood is several million cubic meters. The President of the Russian Federation pays attention to environmental issues and ecology. The forest area is decreasing at a rapid pace. Illegal logging and selling are detrimental to the national and regional economies. Non-transparent auctions are held. Illegally cut trees are exported to China and Japan.
