In the run-up to the Day of forest workers, the President of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov presented keys from 31 UAZ cars to local forest services and Lubyansk forestry college for organising forest fire protection and conducting state forest control on the territory of the forest fund.

According to the Tatarstan Minister of forestry Nail Magdeev, forest workers need these cars to prevent different violations in the industry.
The Tatarstan President said that the republican leadership pays much attention to the forestry sector. He also noted that there are both forest-rich and forest-poor regions in republic.

“If we cannot preserve forests in the 21st century, it speaks about our inefficiency. However, it has nothing to do with Tatarstan. We will not let such wealth disappear,” Rustam Minnikhanov said.

The RT President noted that modern conditions, such as development of industrial centers and cities, bring certain problems to the industry. But nevertheless, we must work for the good of forests and the forestry sector.

Rustam Minnikhanov also visited the photo exhibition “Forestry of the Republic of Tatarstan: yesterday, today, tomorrow.”
