In 2020, the reforestation and afforestation work was carried out in the republic on a total area of 514 hectares within the framework of the national target project "Ecology".

In particular, the artificial reforestation was carried out on an area of 252 hectares, including planting - 163 hectares, sowing - 89 hectares; assistance to natural reforestation - 212 hectares; afforestation - 50 hectares. Last year, the republican forestry service fulfilled all the tasks scheduled for the implementation of the regional project "Forest Conservation" under the national project "Ecology".  

The Chairman of the Forestry Committee of the Republic of Dagestan Vagab Abdulkhamidov pointed out that the main objective of the regional project "Forest Conservation" is to ensure a balance of forest loss and reproduction in the ratio of 100% by 2024, to increase the area of reforestation and afforestation and to improve the quality and efficiency of reforestation and afforestation in forest areas.

“Dagestan is a sparsely wooded region of Russia, where the forest cover is 7.2%. Hence, the problems of preserving, protecting and increasing the forest area are a priority for the republic's forestry department” – the official said.
