class=MsoNormal>The results of joint research indicate that more than
18,000 woodland areas were registered to natural persons in violation of
the existing legal framework regulating forestry and appropriate policies
as well as institutions responsible for management of said areas.
According to the gathered facts, felling is persistent in the
aforementioned areas. Transactions were also conducted based on the
relevant requests from the private sector, the central government,
municipalities and the Patriarchate (Georgian Apostolic Autocephalous
Orthodox Church). The overall number of registry cases exceeds 25,000.
