Wildfires in Republic of Sakha(Yakutia)

My topic for discussion is wildfires in my native Republic. The causes

of annual fires are the human factor and dry thunderstorms in remote
places. This is the major issue that occurs each year in summer period
which spread in whole Republic and as you know this is the largest
region in Russia. Forests, tundra, taiga are the largest zone that is in
Yakutia.
The total area of the forest fund lands is 255631 thousand hectares,
including forest lands-193365 thousand hectares, of which 143818
thousand hectares are covered with forest vegetation. Forest cover is
46.6%; the total stock of wood at the root is 8917 million m3. Forests by
area, stock and predominant species are extremely unevenly distributed,
forest cover ranges from 93% in the southern uluses, to 25% in the
northern ones.
At the moment, 923 thousand hectares of forest are burning in Yakutia.
Most villages are now in a dangerous situation. The authorities are not
doing anything to extinguish the fires, they don't provide equipment for
extinguishing, people go to extinguish massive fires with shovels and
tractors. Sights like the Lena pillars are burning, and due to the fact that
the Lena pillars recently became part of UNESCO, participants from
"Greanpeace" flew here to extinguish fires.
According to the minister, the Federal Forestry Agency does not transfer
money to the regions for fighting fires, but sets limits.
"Avialesookhrana" conducts auctions, enters into state contracts, and on
the basis of acceptance certificates, the contractor transfers funds from
the accounts of the Federal Forestry Agency. For example, for the whole
of 2021, a limit of almost 290 million rubles was set for Yakutia. This
limit was almost completely spent by July 7.
Fires in Yakutia are tracked in two ways: satellite monitoring of ISDM
and air patrol. The first method does not incur costs, unlike the second.
135.6 million rubles have been allocated for aviation monitoring this
year.
21 aircraft are involved in monitoring, 13 helicopters are involved in
extinguishing, and not one plane, as the media wrote. An hour of flight
costs differently, the price depends on the type of aircraft.
Yakutia wants to install equipment for causing precipitation on its planes
The republic does not have such aircraft as the Be-200 and the An-26
"Cyclone" sounding aircraft. The Be-200 is only available from the
Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia. He works on request, the
republic pays for fuel, accommodation and meals for the crew. The same
is true with the "Cyclone", only in this case the federal
"Avialesookhrana" pays for the maintenance and fuel.
The head of Yakutia proposed to attract more Cyclone aircraft for
extinguishing, because the territory of the republic is very large and one
plane cannot cope.
Also, Yakutia should contact the Russian government to order special
equipment at the plant for independent work on causing precipitation.
They want to install this equipment on existing aircraft.
There are not enough people on extinguishing. The number of
employees in forest fire formations is not enough. There are 193 forest
firefighters in "Yakutlesresurs", 223 seasonal workers are additionally
recruited. There are 224 parachutists — firefighters in the Aviation
Security Service, 150 seasonal workers are additionally recruited.
I would like the authorities to take decisive measures to extinguish fires
and attract more equipment. They attracted more people to extinguish
fires. If we manage to put them out, we will save the most beautiful
nature and the largest forests in the world, beautiful sights and animals
that are fleeing from their homes to survive.
