The solution to the problem of preserving forests on the planet depends on the efforts of the entire world community. An important place in this issue is given to legal mechanisms that consolidate the mutual obligations of states, as well as the norms of domestic legislation to ensure the sustainable development of forests and forestry. The article analyzes the current state and practice of implementing the international legal regime, as well as the provisions of domestic forest legislation in terms of organizational and legal support for improving the efficiency of economic use of forests on the territory of the Russian Federation. The problems and prospects of the implementation of certain regulatory instruments that ensure the implementation by the Russian Federation of state policy in the field of forestry development are shown. In particular, the author substantiates the decisive role of the state in building mechanisms for rationalizing the use of forests, taking into account the use of a set of administrative and economic incentive measures for economic entities. It is necessary to move from a resource-oriented approach to an ecosystem one in the development of the forest economy, allowing to harmonize the interests of the state, society and business in the use of forest resources while maintaining acceptable rates of socio-economic development of the country.
