Tomsk Oblast Implements Remote Forest Monitoring System to Combat Illegal Logging
A new remote monitoring system is being implemented in Tomsk Oblast, Russia, to protect its forests. This system, set to cover the entire region by 2025, will help detect illegal logging and other negative impacts on forests in a timely manner.
Active logging zones and areas with previous violations are being prioritized for monitoring. This system will cover all 20 forest districts in the region by 2025. It can identify various violations, including logging without proper documents, exceeding allowable clearings, and illegal logging in protected forests. As of 2025, there are no publicly available details about a specific 'space monitoring project for the forest fund' in Tomsk Oblast. However, 11 cases of illegal logging have already been detected through remote monitoring. Violators face administrative or criminal responsibility depending on the size of the damage caused.
While there is no concrete information about a specific project in Tomsk Oblast, Russia is increasingly using remote sensing and AI for forest monitoring, particularly to combat illegal logging and wildfires. To gather more details about the project, one can check official government portals, contact relevant agencies like Rosleschoz, or reach out to local media outlets and scientific institutions.
