The head of the Union of Scientific Associations of Natural Resources and Environment of Iran stated that the approach of cutting down dry trees and planting new saplings in Chitgar should shift to an 'integrated forest management' approach. In this approach, water, soil, pests, stand structure, species composition, financial provision, managerial accountability, inter-sectoral coordination, and centralized management are all considered simultaneously.
