Examining strategies to economize the expenses associated with safeguarding Russia's forested regions and preservation network.

In an effort to minimise costs and ensure long-term protection of natural resources, Germany is pioneering the use of robotics in managing its natural resources. This innovative approach involves an integrated system designed to increase the efficiency of unmanned robotic means.

The system, which encompasses aerial, land, underwater, and surface robots, is intended to streamline the management of natural resources while keeping costs to a minimum. Each inspector in the system is responsible for managing approximately 50,000 hectares of forest.

The operation of this integrated system relies on several science-intensive technologies that need to be integrated simultaneously for effective operation. The robots can perform multiple functions required by various government ministries and departments. Precise navigation and task execution are crucial for the system's effectiveness.

The development and application of this technology are a collaborative effort involving private forest owners, government bodies such as the German Federal Ministry of Agriculture, associations like the Arbeitskreis Klimapositive Waldwirtschaft and the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Rohholz (AGR), and startups like Imkado, which develop AI-supported digital tools for environmental monitoring.

The goal is not just limited to forest management. Successful implementation of this approach can be scaled to other sectors, potentially revolutionising the way we manage our natural resources.

However, the construction of this integrated civil application system is a complex software and hardware system. Collaborative work among manufacturers, environmental protection block, technological organisations, and the expert community can lead to the creation of more efficient autonomous systems.

It's worth noting that the protected system in the country employs over 13,000 people. This integrated approach not only promises to streamline operations but also creates new job opportunities.

The environmental protection block, technological organisations, and the expert community all have a role to play in achieving this goal. By working together, they can ensure the successful operation of this integrated system and pave the way for a more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable management of natural resources.
