The study results have disclosed that in 2020, due to pandemic and war, only recreation and eco-touristic services estimated as 10 mln 755 thousand (30.6 % of the total) AMD were rendered against those of total 35 mln 145 thousand AMD available in Tsaghkadzor city, while the forest rehabilitation activities were underperformed by 3 hectare land area or by 33.3 %; besides, illegal logging increased by 1.8 and 2.2 ha respectively as compared to the previous two years.So, forest ecosystem-based recreation and eco-touristic services should be integrated in the overall economic system, while at least 30 % of profit should be allocated for the conservation of forest landscapes.
