Abstract
Studying of complex relations between forests and game animals is actual and necessary to save forest biodiversity. Concerns forestry management in the relation of game species is necessary to define and proof the concept of the term by law. Plans of increasing (staying at a certain level, decreasing) of number of game animals should be based and provided with conformed forestry actions. The regional system of forestry actions is a complex of mutually conditioned actions, united by the main forest use and hunting enterprises aims, concerning silvicultural characters of wood species, forest groups, natural and economical conditions of forestry areas or districts, based on a specific technical level and guaranteed forest reproduction and sustainable forestry in case of their realization. Forestry management of game animals is a system of forestry actions aimed at population’s management of game species. A strong example of forestry management of game animals can be a situation with young pine trees, damaged by moose. According to the present number of moose such damages can be seen everywhere. It isn’t possible to plan increasing of ungulates (the moose, red deer etc.) without planning to increase feeding grounds for them. Otherwise, this increasing of ungulates damages forests. It will be necessary to increase areas of the cultures of young pine stands to increase the moose number. The author offers to name these cultures as «fodder young pine stands».
