In Slovenia, 9,630 ha of forests are declared forest reserves in which forests are subject to natural development. Forest reserves contribute to the increase in biodiversity in forests and enable studies of natural development of forests. Wood as an important renewable natural resource has long contributed to the development of industry and the entire economy in Slovenia, especially in rural areas. Integration of forestry and wood industry with the purpose of providing wood processing and added value in the domestic environment is therefore important for the further development of the economy. Since wood is the most energy conserving material, forest and permanently integrated wood are important factors for carbon sequestration (carbon dioxide sink), which also presents a contribution to wise use of energy and clean environment. Sustainable wild game management also contributes to the economy, especially in rural areas, because hunting in the connection with tourism is an important source of income in rural areas. Hunting as a form of recreation attracts guests who at the same time consume other tourist offers, while game meat brings something new to the menu as well as to the tourist offer. Wild game also attracts other tourists who want to watch or take photographs.
