It is necessary to ensure the ecological safety of forestry as a whole for maintaining the state of forest ecosystems. Taking into account the negative impact of human economic activity, activities for the preservation of individual forest objects that are of paramount importance for the functioning of the entire forest ecosystem are of particular importance. Such objects are called objects of forest biological diversity. Forest biological diversity exceeds that of other terrestrial ecosystems. Maintenance in forests of historically developed landscapes and ecosystems in general, which are not only a set of trees valuable for forest biological diversity, but also are the habitat of various groups of living organisms, is a prerequisite for ensuring environmental safety in forestry. The article examines the main problems arising in the preservation of forest biological diversity in Russia. Forest objects with different forest presentation duty (permissions, restrictions, prohibitions) are considered, difficulties with fixing such objects in the documents of users of forest services and on the ground are revealed. The article concludes with a number of recommendations for future studies of forest biological diversity in order to develop common approaches regardless of the state-owner of natural (forest) objects and peculiarities of national legislation.
