Forests are the basis of the country's ecological stability, which is extremely important not only for the air, water and soil quality of the whole country but also for the Lithuanian identity. However, deforestation caused by intensive forestry and low levels of human activity is already visible to the naked eye. According to Vilnius University (VU) geographers, the current wood-oriented forest policy needs to be changed. In order to preserve Lithuania's ecological stability, it is important to consider the ecological and social benefits of forests as a priority condition of public welfare, and forest issues cannot be solved within the framework of forestry alone.
