Stand of the Russian Raptor Research and Conservation Network on the Issue of Biodiversity Conservation in Forest IBAs in the Course of Forestry Activity

Abstract

The current forest management system does not take into account IBAs. Most of IBAs are outside SPNAs (Special Protected Natural Areas) with a strict regime that completely exclude felling, that is why one-time total refusal from felling within IBAs put obstacles or is impossible for socio-economic reasons. Nevertheless, it is necessary to seek the exclusion of IBAs from forest exploitation plans or, at least, put a restraint upon forestry activity in the territory of IBAs. This article suggests ways of preserving biodiversity in the course of logging on the IBAs.
