Particularly serious situation in Yugra. Four-fifths of all forest land, which took fire in the Urals region, have on the region. According to the reports, which every day gives the Department of subsoil use and natural resources of the County, eliminated the number of fires per day is approximately equal to the number of arising again. Fire is so powerful that smog sucked Tyumen. Gary suspension of particles over hundreds of kilometers has reached Yekaterinburg. Smoke from forest fires reached and Chelyabinsk, according to the Ministry of ecology of the Chelyabinsk region.

In the middle Urals the second week burns a unique nature reserve “Denezhkin the stone”, the area of forest fire, has already reached 70 hectares. Fighting thrown the best forces, a total of 150 firefighters, 6 UAZ, KAMAZ and Mi-8 helicopter. Has attracted specialists from other regions, but to stop the fire until it succeeds.

In Yugra last week were forced to fly the two Federal Minister, head of natural resources Dmitry Kobylkin, the head of the Ministry of emergency situations Evgeny Senichev to try to influence the situation.

the Incessant heat has been observed in Siberia and in the far North – said Kobylkin. For the first time this year recorded forest fire in the Arctic circle, is the northernmost hearth in the entire history of space monitoring in recent years.

– there are two natural phenomena and the human factor. In Ugra the number of fires has increased almost three times in comparison with last year, – said Senichev. We made the analysis of space monitoring, which showed that they mainly occur on the leased areas or in the area of human economic activity. And the picture we are seeing now in the entire territory of Siberia.

the root of the problem – the imperfection of the current Forest code, says the President of the Ural Union of timber Industrialists Andrew Mehrentsev.

– the Code destroyed the former system of forestry, which operated in pre-revolutionary times, when the Ranger knew exactly what was happening in his fiefdom, and the time to take action. We have dramatically reduced the cost of forest management, but now spending billions to fight forest fires, and space monitoring. Forest areas, as you know, we now are transferred into long-term lease for 49 years, while the owner is government. However, from the state to the hands of the forest Fund can not walk can. And tenants without forest management can not organize effective production, forest management actually replaced with lightweight schemas inventory (from lat. taxatio – “screening value” – ed.). In the end, two thirds of forests are not arranged, and part of it appeared to be abandoned. So we shouldn’t be surprised by frequent fires, – con��was Tatarova it.

According to experts, it is necessary to start to transfer in private property, at least the land where there is long experience of fair rent large lesopererabotki. The experience of Finland shows that the host behaves in the forest more efficiently than the lessee. It is his property and he will think a hundred times smarter how to use it. And the state must provide a clear and immutable rules of conducting works for the owner of the land.

Another major problem, according to Andrew Mekhrentseva is that today, almost bloodless system of forest protection.

one Forester in Russia today have from one thousand to 400 thousand hectares of forest land depending on the region. Can you imagine what a huge territory! And that it is possible to see? No modern equipment, no space monitoring will not be able to replace humans in the forest. Yes, the challenge is to increase the number of Rangers. But while the earnings of the young specialist 12 to 14 thousand rubles. Long will they in the woods? emotionally he said. – Meanwhile, at the time, was the Rangers dynasty. Children, after studying at the University back home. And as a father and grandfather, continued to guard the forest. Among the complex factors that affect the order in the forest, I believe one of the most important return in the taiga forest Rangers. And the return of the people of this profession significant status that they once possessed.

2,231 billion is provided in 2020 in the Urals Federal district on improvement of the effectiveness of prevention of occurrence and spread of forest fires and their suppression.
