Highlighted Activities, Results, and Findings. The FOREST Project focused on spreading the pheromone monitoring methodology to all five regions and Tomskaya Oblast, building capacity, and informing scientists and decision makers about the methodology during Year Two. Table 5 shows the results as per USAID’s Strategic Objectives. Regional Centers for Forest Protection played an integral role in pheromone trap placement and analysis. One hundred twenty forest protection specialists were trained in using hand-held GPS units and in preparation of pheromone traps for monitoring. All fieldwork is being carried out in all regions in Siberia and the Russia Far East by Russian cooperators and partners from the Russian Forest Service. Centers for Forest Protection in Krasnoyarski Krai and Irkutskaya Oblast have placed traps for two seasons already. During Year Two, XXXXXX contracted a women-owned company to produce 4,500 pheromone traps, the first time these have been produced in Russia. The business earned $2,000 in revenues. In addition, Russian- made pheromone dispensers were tested and proven to be effective. FOREST is realizing additional cost savings while building capacity to produce locally made materials. Two seminars took place in November 2001 in Krasnoyarsk (Recent methods of forest pests monitoring) and in April 2002 in Khabarovsk (Siberian moth monitoring in the Russia Far East) to share information with the scientific community about FOREST’s approach. The five regional Centers of Forest Protection and four research/teaching institutes were represented by 120 participants. All participants are involved in forest protection activities in regions covered by the FOREST Pest Monitoring Component. Seminar proceedings on the methods of monitoring of forest pests in Siberia and the Far East was written and published. Fact sheets of the goals and tasks of forest protection activities were developed and were distributed to all leskhozes in Krasnoyarski Krai. Three Maps--(1) Siberian moth outbreak in Yenisey Siberia (2) Irkutskaya Oblast and Yenisey Siberia risk of forest pests defoliation and (3) Habitat quality for the Siberian moth in two leskhozes of the Lower Angara region--were published and distributed. An economic analysis showed that using pheromone traps will reduce costs of monitoring and increase efficiency. This new methodology is effective by itself but will be even more effective when used in conjunction with sampling of larvae used by the Centers of Forest Protection. Geostatistical analysis...

Highlighted Activities, Results, and Findings. The FOREST Project focuses on key policy issues as they relate to meeting the goals of the project. Regional policy and legal issues were examined in the Russia Far East, Krasnoyarski Krai, and Irkutskaya Oblast. During Year Two, XXXXXX outlined a process for selecting forest policies and legislation with staff, government officials and other stakeholders. Staff conducted a seminar on the Mechanisms of Forest Policy Implementation in the Russia Far East and Siberia. More than 50 officials from the Ministry of Natural Resources, federal administrative and legislative institutions, scientists, and FOREST staff participated. Participants found the meeting to be particularly useful. Issues discussed included the need to: • Review the management fire fighting services, fire prevention, and pest control; describe the rights, duties, and responsibility of the forestry and administrative services. • Analyze the need for sanctions for abusing forest lands, and describe principles and procedures to evaluate the scale of these sanctions. • Analyze incentives, including lease extensions, for forest users introducing new technology and conducting environmental friendly and proper forest utilization. • Determine the forms and methods of public participation in the decision making process and forestry management, describing the rights and responsibility of the citizens and NGOs participating in the administration. XXXXXX proposed to adjust the approach and not conduct a gap analysis or develop a feedback mechanism as a single event (as described in the workplan) but rather as an on-going activity. In addition, future policy activities of FOREST will be conducted within each component.
