As a result, the question arises as to reconsideration of the protection categories of forests and possible allocation of forests available for recreational purposes within protected forest zones. Currently, MoNP is responsible for forest monitoring. Taking into account the fact that the forest enterprises, subordinated during the period 1999-2009 to the JSC Gok Gushak, were self-financing, the available financial means allowed only for the protection of forests from forest fires and illegal logging. The current situation, with the forest enterprises included in the structure of the Department of Forestry, has not changed yet in terms of funding procedures, despite the fact that the new Forest Code creates room for State budgetary funding to be available for forest management. The forest inventory and planning materials provided in 1988-1989 are still being used for forest management purposes. Monitoring is done only on the territories of State reserves.
