Gajdos and his team explained why the removal of chainsaws from protected forests is progressing slowly

The Hungarian Ministry of Environment plans to overhaul forest management, moving away from profit-driven practices. Minister Gajdos László emphasized the need for a shift from treating forests as resources to be exploited. Future operations will focus on non-profit models, with a reduction in the number of state forestry companies. The ministry aims to increase forest cover and protect older forests from logging. Despite criticism over the recent logging moratorium, Gajdos noted that significant reductions in timber extraction have already been achieved. The ministry is also establishing trust-based cooperation between forestry and conservation sectors to ensure sustainable practices. New zones will be designated for no logging, while gentle management will be implemented in other areas to maintain continuous forest cover.
