Efficiency of the activity of government authorities in the field of protection and use of forest resources

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to establish the effectiveness of state regulation and management in the field of forest resources in order to ensure their proper protection, rational use and reproduction; to define the powers of public authorities in relation to forest resources management; to establish the functions of state management of forest resources; to analyze the main tasks of state regulation and management in the field of forest relations. The methodology includes a comprehensive analysis and generalization of available scientific and theoretical material and the formulation of relevant conclusions and recommendations. The following methods of scientific cognition were used during the research: terminological, logical-semantic, functional, system-structural, logical-normative. As a result of the study, it was found that in our country there is a very extensive system of control of government agencies over activities in the forest sector. But its efficiency is low, because illegal deforestation is carried out en masse, and the authorities that are supposed to monitor it do not seem to notice anything, or the officials on whom the solution of a particular issue depends decide in their favor, not in favor of the state - that is, officials themselves commit illegal acts. Unfortunately, such cases are not uncommon - mostly mass. Therefore, there is a need to change, improve and increase the effectiveness of control both directly by public authorities and these bodies themselves. Procrastination can lead to the destruction of forests, animals, and the ecological network, which in turn affects the ecological environment of citizens and their lives and health. Scientific novelty: in the course of the research it was established that the system of state management of forest resources is inefficient and needs to be improved. The results of the study have practical significance and can be used in lawmaking and law enforcement activities during the implementation of measures for the protection, use and reproduction of forest resources.
