Promoting Sustainable Forest Management in Russia
Elena Kulikova,WWF Russia Forest Programme Director
-
Russian Forest Sector: Overall Context
-
Forests of Russia: Wealth and Poverty
Forest sector as a part of resource-based economy 22% of World forests3% of World timber trade1 place in World by amount of round wood tradeThe lowest stumpage fee in the WorldProfit from forest management per 1 ha about 10 times less, than in Scandinavia
-
Global Importance of Russian Forests: Biodiversity and Climate Change AgendaOne of four mega-areas of intact forests in the World (along with Canada, Brazil, and Congo basin) Russia accounts for 25% of the world's large massifs of intact forestsRussian boreal forests has highest biodiversity and endemism among the other boreal forests in the WorldSink for 15% of global CO2 emissions
-
Map of Russian Intact Forest
-
Key Ecological Problems of Russian ForestsThe pioneer mining of intact forests massifs is still on-going
Imperfect forest management practice
The biodiversity of commercial forests is decreasing (share of aspen and birch increased up to 30-40% of total area)As the result of forest fires about 2 mln ha of commercial forests burn every year
-
On-going Reforms in Russian Forest SectorForest Code (frame character, about 60 sub-ordinate normative acts needed to be developed) Maximum decentralization - delivery of responsibilities on forest management to the regional level (re-organization of stricture and staff)Changing in export tax policy for round woodPriority investment projectsMay, 2008 new Government, forestry under the Ministry of Agriculture, new Head of FFA
-
Specificity of Forest Reforms ImplementationAll they are implemented simultaneouslyShort-term period of realization Lack of information and communications, a lot of uncertaintiesLack of public involvement into decision-making process

Forest PolicyTools: Public Ecological Council under Federal Forestry Agency and Forest Council under the Ministry of AgricultureMajor problem: low quality of new forest legislation Developing set of amendmentsA scorecard of ecological responsibility and sustainability of forest management of Russian forest regions has been created (by 2010)
-
Status of FLEG Issues
Programme of measures on elimination of illegal turnover of wood, adopted by the Government (February, 2007). Federal level - set of activitiesRegional initiativesRelevant agencies activities (Ministry of Interior, Custom, Transportation, etc.)

Status of FLEG IssuesBUTDue to reforms, uncertainties in legislation, poor practice of law enforcement, etc. scale of illegal logging is raisingThere are no regional bodies designated for forest violation control or they are very limited in capacitiesForest guard is abolished and its functions are distributed among 5-9 servicies Statistic is not available

-
FSC standardNovember 11, 2008 Russian national FSC standard got official accreditation. Development of this standard started in 1998; the last (fifth) version of it was sent to FSC in December 2007.
-
Rate of FSC Certification Growth in Russia
2000 first certificate in Altaysky Kray - 32,7 thousand ha2009 21 ml ha (North-West, Siberia, Far East)It comprises 15% of commercial forests2-nd place in the world Leads to improved forest management

Global Forest and Trade Network RussiaGFTN in Russia was established in 1999 as the Association of Environmentally Responsible Timber ProducersGoal to eliminate illegal logging and drive improvements in forest managementby encouraging voluntary forest certification
At present, GFTN-Russia consists of 50 participants and 10 applicants,
Which manage near 24.8 million ha of leased forests, or 21% of such forests in Russia
