Abstract

The article describes the causes of the forestry crisis in Dagestan in the 70-80s of the 19th century and its negative impact on the further development. The materials of the newspaper “Kavkazˮ on the actual state of forest lands in Dagestan and the Circular of the military governor of the Dagestan region of 1890 are analyzed. The data from the report of the forest inspector L.P. Portansky in the beginning of the 20th century on the real state of forestry in Dagestan and the conclusion about the need to create a state system for the protection and conservation of forests are considered.
