Forestry and biodiversity
Forest cover, fires and pests, protected natural areas and threatened species.
Climatic changes reduce the resilience of forest ecosystems, increase the frequency and intensity of forest fires, expand the ranges of pests and threaten rare and endemic species.

III-1 Double chart
Forests, fires and pests amid extreme precipitation and temperatures
Source: Form No. 1-IK (Forestry Agency); unofficial: test dataUpdated: 18.10.2026 · form of 01.09.2026
Rationale for the combination
The dynamics of forest-covered areas compared with areas affected by fires and pests against the background of extreme weather provide a basis for assessing the impact of climate factors on the forest expansion policy (target: 66 thousand ha and 2 billion trees by 2040).
III-2 Simple chart
Endangered species and establishment of protected areas
Source: Form No. 1-IK (Forestry Agency); unofficial: test dataUpdated: 18.10.2026 · form of 01.09.2026
Rationale for the combination
Overall assessment of whether the institutional conditions for biodiversity conservation match the level of risk of species loss (target: to increase the share of protected areas from 22% to 28%).
III-3 Double chart
Biodiversity loss and expansion of the protected area network
Source: Form No. 1-IK (Forestry Agency); unofficial: test dataUpdated: 18.10.2026 · form of 01.09.2026
Rationale for the combination
Shows whether nature reserve management measures are keeping pace in responding to losses of flora and fauna as climate zones shift.
