Intro

012

It is time to re-discover the Siberian taiga, not with the aim of conquering and extracting resources, but with the aim of pro tecting and preserving the valuable taiga landscape. The taiga forest is a national and global heritage, but thanks to global sat ellite monitoring, the transformation of the Russian forest into a huge conveyor for the destruction of intact landscapes is obvi ous. The irreversible process takes place in remote uninhabited territories, pursuing exclusively economic and exploitative goals.

Today the russian forest sector, destroyed after the collapse of the USSR and rapidly recovering, is facing a unique historic opportunity for the creation of a fundamentally new forest sector. The new forestry, in my opinion, will be able to establish a new relationship with the forest, pushing it beyond the realm of ex traction and industry towards coexistence. New forestry as a new identity of uninhabited Siberian territories, raising awareness of sustainable landscapes approaches and thinking, creating shared values and establishing a dialogue between nature and industry.

The aim of the project is a scenario for the settlement in the taiga on the territories traversed by industry in order to restore, main tain and create a protective belt, which, due to intensive forest use, will ensure the preservation of valuable landscapes and provide the industry with wood. Intensive forestry is based on innovations and technologies, new techniques and advanced knowledge. In my project, I try to arrange the life of a forest(ry) community in a landscape without harming the ecosystem, but fully adapting to it.

from Russian тайга́ taj·gá

from South Siberian Turkic - “coniferous forests” or alternatively Yakut “taiga” - “untraversable forest”

Taiga generally referred to a boreal forest in high-latitude re gions of Canada, Russia and Alaska. It is a biome character ized by coniferous forests, a very low population density and low human impacts. It has large areas of unmanaged forests.

The romantic notion of the Russian forest as an unbroken band of boundless wilderness is a myth. In reality, the taiga consists of frag ments of wilderness, separated by areas affected by modern land use. No systematic study that assesses the degree to which the for est zone of Russia is still intact in a natural state has ever been completed. The remaining areas of intact wilderness are general ly regarded as a virtually unlimited reserve of exploitable resources.

Intact Forest Landscape

Intact Forest
026

Intact Forest Landscapes are defined as those with an large un fragmented area minimally influenced by human economic activi ty. They contain a contiguous mosaic of natural ecosystems, high amount of global forest carbon and biological diversity. More than 80 % of the intact forest landscapes fall in taiga ecoregion.

> 2 km

>500 km2 >10 km

Values

- the last remaining areas of forest that are untouched by modern development

- are critical for stabilizing terrestrial carbon storage

- are large enough to sustain complete systems of biological diversity

- critical for wildlife and species at risk

- provide crucial ecosystem services, such as regulating water and nutrient cycles

- are critical for the livelihoods of forest-dependent peoples

- ability to perform ecosystem resilience to natural disturbance and climate change

- protection against floods, mudslides, avalanches and soil erosion

- the larger the size, the higher the conservation value of the territory

The biggest threat is forest fires, most of which are caused by human activities related to the exploitation of forest resources in remote are as where the capacity for effective forest fire management is limited. The second most important threat is logging and the construction of forest ry infrastructure, mostly timber transportation roads. Other threats to IFLs include road construction, mining and prospecting and the develop ment of infrastructure for the transportation of minerals, oil and gas.

Protection

These areas should remain protected from fragmentation and subsequent ex ploitation. The average area of intact flrest lost is 0.6% per year of the total original area. The most rapid destruction is taking place in those forest areas adjacent to forests which are logged industrially and which are the most pro ductive in terms of timber resources. If the rate of loss remains the same, in tact forest landscape will completely disappear from Russia within 150 years.

It is important to regularly monitor and to analyse the threats and rates of decrease in intact forest landscape areas. Satellite data provide the most feasible solution for recurrent global mapping and monitoring of hu man-caused forest alteration and fragmentation but it is not enough.

Finding sustainable ways to intensify timber production is an urgent priority. Proper use of secondary forests will make it possible to preserve intact and other high conservation value forests. Good forestry practices are essential.

Unlike the pre-revolutionary agrarian colonization of Siberia, the Stalinist GULAG system was an instrument of industrialization. The primary indus trial infrastructure was built by the prisoners. Construction of hydroelectric power plants required the concentration of huge labor resources in the areas.

Ust-Ilimsk

The cities of Bratsk and Ust-Ilimsk are typical monotowns of the Siberian region, which were built as residential extensions to soviet enterprises engaged in heavy industry or intensive logging. The situation in many monotowns in Russia is very problematic: they are completely dependent on the competitiveness of one company, very inflexible and based on the economy and technologies of the Soviet era. The main labor force was formed mainly due to the centralized system of labor distribution (compulsory employment of graduates | 3 years).

Today, residents of monotowns are forced to leave and look for work else where. Typical problems of monotowns also include: low incomes and living standards of life, obsolescence of the housing stock and urban infra

structure, excessive environmental load, obsolescence of technologies.

Opportunity | Forest sector | Social Aspect

Extensive unmanaged forest use, when the clear-cut areas are largely abandoned, does not provide the number of jobs that a intensive forest ry could provide. Forest use combined with a full cycle of efficient forest management can provide two to three times more jobs per hectare of forest area. The social functions of the forest, which are the main purpose of sustainable forestry still remain outside the sphere of market relations. In this sense, an extensive forest management model is not socially beneficial.

Forest Use
044

60%

Problem

The main forest use is production forests: the harvesting of raw wood, mainly by clear cutting. In the northern sparsely populated areas forest use is carried in accordance with the lowest standards. Lack of control is also a main cause of illegal logging - up to 60% of the total harvested timber may be illegal.

Opportunity | Sustainable Rural Development

There are not enough representatives of the supervisory bodies of the state. There is a shortage of forest inspectors and foresters, when huge forest areas are virtu ally uncontrolled. To achieve effective control and protection of forests remote monitoring is not enough, control on the territory is necessary. More intensive forest management provides opportunities for sustainable rural development.

The only way to preserve northern intact forest landscapes is to develop in tensive but sustainable forest management in those secondary forests which are currently used and neglected. Sustainable use of secondary forests should be directed at growing more productive forest stands, appropriate thin ning, the protection of productive forests against fires and illegal logging.

High Demand

China, as a world’s bigger consumer of wood, represented 57% of Russia’s total lumber exports. As China’s demand for timber increas es, forests will come under increasing pressure. Timber harvest levels in Siberia have continued to rise, increasing steadily by an aver age of 6.3% per year since 2010. The region’s proximity and ac cess to Chinese markets is the primary factor behind the growth.
