Abstract: The process of deforestation is exacerbated by uncontrolled logging around the world. The forest is valuable, it is uttered everywhere and it seems obvious that the loss of the forest will mean large material losses. This value is largely hidden, that is, many take the forest for granted and realize the size of the loss only in the context of the loss of a significant area of forest plantations. That is why we believe that the economic forest exploitation is of particular importance; it will not only lead to product extraction, but also bring the importance of the forest to public consciousness. In the public consciousness, it is easier to consolidate the value of the forest in view of the forest economic importance for the average citizen. This is possible with the expansion of the forest economic exploitation on a regional scale in a number of sustainable forest management practices not related to logging.
