Severe Anthropogenic Stress on the Forests, Illegal Logging and Forest
Degradation in the Ali Forest Zone



On 2 August 2017, CENN, within the framework of the project “Fostering New
Technologies for Sustainable Forest Governance”, with the financial support
of the World Resources Institute (WRI), organized fieldwork in Ali forest,
Khashuri Municipality. The aim of the fieldwork was the assessment of the
forest condition for modelling of local landscape vulnerability.



Ali forest represents one of the hot spots in Georgia due to degradation of
its landscape. Severe anthropocentric stress on the forests, such as Illegal
logging and forest degradation (dense road networks and fragmented forest
stands in the whole region) are documented and visible on the satellite.
