Abolition of on-farm game management project as a problem of interaction between forestry and hunting economy

The article is devoted to the analysis of the problems of interaction between forestry and hunting economy, which arose as a result of the abolition of on-farm game management project, and the search for solutions to establish constructive interaction between the above-mentioned sectors of the economy. The Strategy for the development of the hunting economy in the Russian Federation until 2030 includes, among other things, the coordination of legal norms of the forest and hunting legislation of the Russian Federation among the main measures for the development of the hunting economy. Therefore, the return of on-farm game management project to the regulatory and methodological framework, the science and practice of forestry and hunting economy will also serve to fulfill this task. In the regulatory framework that appeared after 07/24/2009, the hunting economy as a territorial and economic unit turned into a «hunting ground». Hunting grounds turned into «elements of the habitat of hunting resources» and hunting animals became «hunting resources». In this article, the author will use the concepts of «hunting economy» and «hunting grounds», as well as «hunting animals» in the classical understanding of forest and hunting science. On- farm game management project is an inventory of the resources of a particular hunting farm and the development of a project for the rational use of these resources and their reproduction based on a systematic approach. It is extremely important to understand the need for constructive interaction between forestry and hunting economy and the enormous importance for forestry of forest animals and birds as part of the zoocenosis of Vladimir Nikolaevich Sukachev's idea that «the specificity of the animal world depending on certain forms of forest and the strong dependence of a number of phenomena occurring in them on animals is one of the signs that characterize the forest as biogeocenosis». Against the background of the abolition of on-farm game management project, the problem with the list (types) and norms (standard) of biotechnical measures is particularly acute. This is a very important issue, since the volumes of projected and actually carried out biotechnical measures represent a detail of the mechanism of influence of hunting economy on forestry. It is necessary, by analogy with the Forest Management Instruction, to develop and approve a Game Management Project Instruction, which will become a single methodological foundation for game management project.
