Abstract
There is a growing awareness in the global community of the need to conserve and restore forests. Russia accounts for one-fifth of the world's total forest fund. Thus, the purpose of the study is to review information on reforestation in the Republic of Buryatia, as well as to analyze and interpret the data obtained. One of the regions of Russia, the Republic of Buryatia, was chosen as the object of research. Forests in Buryatia occupy almost 83% and are the main raw material base for meeting the demand for timber. But now the timber stocks are being depleted, especially of mature timber, except for the coastal protection zone of Lake Baikal. The research methods used were remote sensing imagery interpretation and analysis, Web Map Service (WMS) and Global Forest data Watch, Global Forest Change, Google Earth Pro. The largest number of fires in Buryatia are caused by human fault.
