The National Forestry Agency of Georgia shared the glimpses of the introductory meeting on its official Facebook Page on February 2, 2026, Monday. The Agency also shared a small note about the meeting along with its glimpses.
The minister wished Besik Amiranashvili success in the implementation of the important projects that are planned within the framework of forest reform.
David Songulashvili noted, “Given professionalism and experience, including working with regions, we have stopped choosing Besik Amiranashvili, who is ready to lead the implementation of the important reform that we have planned.”
“The more the field develops, the more we will protect and take care of the forest; the more effective use of the resource, which is the wealth of our country; at the same time, we will promote the development of the agency. It will be noted that within the framework of the reform, the salaries of forest guards doubled since January this year, which undoubtedly increases the motivation of employees,” said David Songulashvili, Minister of Environment and Agriculture.
