The Nature Conservancy is proposing that the government allow the planting of Christmas trees on land designated for agricultural use. According to environmentalists, this will help solve the problem of a shortage of quality trees for New Year’s celebrations. Vilen Lupachik, a forestry expert at the “Earth Touches Everyone” project, believes that lifting the ban on creating New Year’s plantations on agricultural lands will help solve a number of other problems: a full supply of wood (by growing such wood on abandoned lands). ); conservation of wild forests, which are critical for biodiversity and climate (if forests are purposefully managed for the needs of city dwellers, there will be no need to cut down valuable wild forests); reduction of wildfires (to avoid punishment for cultivating forests on agricultural lands, people simply burn forests, causing large fires); people employed in agricultural enterprises will have another type of employment that will generate income during seasons when agriculture slows down; rural forestry will help develop local economies and support local producers.
