Current State of the Mechanism of Administrative and Criminal Liability for Violation of Fire-Prevention Rules of Forest Exploitation and Forest Conservation on the Example of Zabaykalsky Krai

Abstract

In this article we provide a brief analysis of a monitoring of articles. We take a look at articles from mass media that contain examples of forest management rules violations in Zabaykalsky Krai. We show the modern state of criminal and administrative legislation with regards to enforcement of fire prevention rules and forest protection rules of the region (when violated by either legal entities or private individuals). We describe the existing system of forest governance. We point at the perspectives of further development of the mechanisms of instituting administrative proceedings against federal officials according to the results of comprehensive inspections. We also point at the perspectives of strengthening of the federal control over forest protection from fires by introducing a system where Rosselhoz conducts comprehensive inspections of federal subjects right before the fire season and compiles a readiness report for each federal subject. We express our opinion about the importance of developing fire detection ground services by increasing the effectiveness of ground-based observation points and installing modern high resolution color cameras.
