First forest inventory in country’s history – Republic of Moldova launches national forest inventory process

The Government of the Republic of Moldova

The Government has approved the organization and implementation of Cycle I of the National Forest Inventory, a process through which the Republic of Moldova will have, for the first time, a clear and up‑to‑date picture of the state of the country’s forests.

The inventory will show what forest resources our country has, what condition the forests are in, how they evolve over time, and what measures are needed for their protection and sustainable management.

At present, data on forests come from different sources and do not always provide a complete national‑level overview. Through the new inventory, the authorities will be able to make decisions based on real, verified and comparable data, rather than on fragmented information.

The process will include collecting data in the field, verifying and processing it, as well as publishing the results. The information obtained will be used to develop environmental and forestry policies, measures for adapting to climate change, biodiversity conservation, and for national, European and international reporting.

“This is the first forest inventory in the history of our country. The data will be digitized and will be directly accessible to citizens. The process will take place over a period of 5 years. The total cost will be 2.4 million euros, of which 1.6 million will be provided as a grant by the Government of Romania,” Minister of Environment Gheorghe Hajder said.

The Ministry of Environment will coordinate the implementation of the National Forest Inventory, while the technical work will be carried out by the Institute for Forestry Research and Management.

Cycle I of the National Forest Inventory will be conducted during the period 2026–2030 and represents an important step towards a fairer, more transparent and more responsible management of the forests of the Republic of Moldova.
