KIEV, Feb. 10 – The forest record keeping project in Ukraine drawn up by the State Forest Agency could be supported by the World Bank.

"We have arranged that experts of the World Bank would consider our technical specifications for the fully functional forest record keeping in Ukraine. They would join the project that we start with Austrians. In particular, they would provide proposals on international record keeping standards and technical assistance," acting head of the agency Khrystyna Yushkevych wrote on her Facebook page.

She said that with realistic information about forest record keeping the agency would be able to improve the public forest cadastre, permanently monitor forest operations using Earth remote sensing.
