Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev spoke at a meeting dedicated to the main results of the work of the forestry of the Russian Federation in 2024 and tasks for 2025. It took place on the site of the National Center “Russia”.
“Russia accounts for a fifth of world forest reserves. Thanks to this, our country makes a great contribution to ensuring global environmental well -being. For several years now, more forests have been appearing in Russia than he has been tracked down. This is facilitated by measures that are implemented by the Federal Forestry Agency, attracting business. In 2024, the restoration of forests was one and a half times higher than the area of cut down and dead trees. We must further adhere to a given vector. The amount of funds allocated by the government for the development of forestry in 2024 amounted to 64 billion rubles, ”said Dmitry Patrushev.
The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that on behalf of the President of Russia, the forest users of the North-Western Federal District were partially exempted from paying rental payments for 2023, which also provided the business with the necessary support. Separate measures are also provided for wood processors.
“The forest complex is a strong base for the corresponding direction of industry, a significant component of the economy of most regions. Therefore, it is very important that in 2024 the systematic restoration of the industry continued after the imposition of sanctions. Rise was largely facilitated by the previously taken support measures. According to the results of last year, wood harvesting increased by more than 6 million cubic meters. We expect that in 2025, positive dynamics will remain and volumes of the workpiece will exceed 200 million cubic meters, ”added Dmitry Patrushev.
During the implementation of the national project “Ecology”, the total area of new forest stands reached almost 8 million hectares. Forestment was also included in the new national project “Environmental well -being.” Until 2030, the government provided for more than 16 billion rubles for the implementation of the relevant measures.
Special attention at the meeting paid to the fight against forest fires. Dmitry Patrushev drew attention to the need to eliminate the regions at least 80% of fires on the first day after detection. The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that the key to effective work is to direct adequate forces and means to extinguish fires.
To strengthen interdepartmental coordination in March of this year, the All -Russian headquarters was held, dedicated to the passage of the fire hazardous season.
In 2025, almost 20 billion rubles were provided for the fight against forest fires, which is much more than the level of last year. More than 5 billion of the total amount is aimed at expanding the regional air base in the most mountainous entities and strengthening their material and technical base. In January, a new forest -fire center in the Far East has already begun work. His work will contribute to a more operational extinguishing of complex fires characteristic of this district.
Speaking about the strategic directions of forestry development, Dmitry Patrushev said that in accordance with the order of the President of Russia, an increase in the effectiveness of the functioning of the forest industry continues. First of all, this affects the issues of decriminalization and struggle against illegal workpiece and transportation of wood. The Deputy Prime Minister also noted the need to increase the efficiency of forest patrol, including by introducing distance methods and unmanned aviation systems. Within the framework of a separate national project, the industry will receive almost 1.5 thousand drones.
From January 1, 2025, the federal information system of the forest complex has been launched, which allows you to receive data on the routes of the raw materials, its volumes and the pedigre composition in real time. Dmitry Patrushev emphasized that the legalization of forestry made it possible to significantly increase revenues to the budget. Last year alone, the amount of funds exceeded 80 billion rubles. According to him, these funds should also be sent to the industry. So, for example, this year, almost 3.5 billion rubles are provided for increasing the wages of industry specialists. And in total, until 2030 it is planned to send 24 billion rubles.
At the end of the performance, Dmitry Patrushev added that the key tasks of the forest complex are combined in the relevant strategy, the updating of which is carried out this year. In terms of forestry, according to him, it is necessary to pay attention to the leading forestry, reducing the area of fires, digitalization and improving the quality of forest accounting. It is important to focus on the establishment of a fair value for the use of forest resources.
