Abstract
Every year, millions of hectares of forest die as a result of forest fires around the world. Protection of forests from fires is one of the priority tasks of the Russian Federation state policy.
One of the most effective ways of extinguishing forest fires is aerial protection as the use of aviation forces and means is considered to be an effective mechanism in combating this uncontrollable natural disaster, which creates risks of harm to people’s life and health. This work is aimed at analyzing the situation with forest fires not only for the Russian Federation, but also for other states, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of the forest protection system with the use of aviation forces to develop effective solutions for its improvement.
The statistical data on forest fires in Russia and other states are given, the directions of improvement of the system of aviation forest protection and the current legislation in this and related sectors are defined. A number of measures necessary to improve the organization of forest protection from fires, the functioning of a stable and effective system of forest management, as well as to ensure efficient organization of activities in the conservation of forests has been defined.
