Forestry development directions in South and South-East of Kazakhstan

The basic directions of development of private forestry in the south and southeast of Kazakhstanare given. These directions in future should become the prevailing form of activity. It should be developed for procurement, plantingof greenery, cultivation of planting stock, creation of plantations of wood species, use of wood and non-wood resources of forests,goods of wood origin, etc. The main restriction of the market way of development of forest production in Kazakhstan is small area underforest. The area under forest is 4.5 % of the total in the Republic of Kazakhstan now. It defines the main principles of choice of the formof forest administration and forest exploitation in Kazakhstan. The scheme of forests management organization is worked out. Thescheme considers interests of development of both state, and private forests. Conditions for development of private forests are manpower,free lands, and corresponding technologies with reference to the climate conditions, money resources, and also the state supportin the form of crediting, privileges and others. These conditions can be presented in the form of two blocks - a block of forestry andtechnological decisions and a block of state policy that supports private cultivation of forests. The first block is connected with localfeatures of separate territories and with the choice of direction of development of private forestry, which have no great difficulties asnatural and state environmental conditions with reference to forestry are well studied. There is a selection of wood and shrubby speciesfrom local and imported species. There is wide experience of regeneration in forest fund and protective afforestation in territories wherethere is no forest, and also a wide choice of scientifically proved recommendations. Thus, from the point of view of forestry and technologies,private forest cultivation can already take place in many areas of Kazakhstan. But there are problems in financing these works.Therefore, at the initial stage this direction should be developed in South and South-eastern Kazakhstan.
