Forest management planning and mapping in the protected areas of Tusheti

Original language description

There are several protected areas in the region of Tusheti, Georgia. Their management has considerable gaps. The condition of protected areas was not satisfactory and dynamic changes occur recently. These were reasons for which the monitoring of forest ecosystems has to take place and forest management measures have to be adjusted in order to allow careful exploitation of forest ecosystems in line with the management targets. The project aims at setting up a basic model of sustainable forestry built on actual data obtained about the condition of forest ecosystems reflected into the forest management plan. Within the project solution, a simple forest management plan should be set up that would provide a general view about possibilities of using wood for the local population with respect to the current condition of forest stands within the framework of forest classes (qualitative and quantitative evaluation, characterization of forest types). Emphasis will be put on the underpinning of negative factors, namely the occurrence of forest insect pests. Expected project outputs will be maps and methodological procedures for the forest inventory (forest status determination) and forest management planning, evaluation of the condition of forest ecosystems from the perspective of their endangerment by biotic factors, proposed methodology for basic forest management planning with emphasis on forest protection and assurance of the fulfilment of other forest functions - management of forest stands in the sense of near-natural forest management. An inseparable part of the outputs will be a series of training courses for stakeholders, in which these will be informed in detail about individual methodological procedures, map outputs, their use, and will be trained for the collection of basic field data and their processing. The aim is also to enhance the qualification of staff working at Administrations of Protected Landscape Areas.
