The study aimed to analyse the foreign experience of forestry management and to address the latest strategies for managing forest resources. The positive experience of foreign countries in managing the forestry sector in the context of increasing forest pollution is highlighted. The possibilities of using this experience to improve legislation in the relevant field are considered. The study established that in the developed countries of the world forest resources are among the most important national values that have significant economic and socio-cultural significance. To effectively conserve and restore these resources, multilevel governmental mechanisms for managing forest resources in the face of increasing forest pollution have been introduced abroad. The study indicated that many developed countries use forest management strategies through an integrated approach to address this issue, the main essence of which is based on control measures carried out by both public authorities specialising in forestry and environmental safety authorities and services. The study noted that forest management in the world is becoming an increasingly urgent task due to the growth of pollution, climate change and other environmental challenges. Several international approaches and strategies used to preserve and restore forests are considered, namely: Sustainable Forest Management (SFM); forest certification; international treaties and initiatives; rehabilitation and restoration of forests; involvement of local communities; and technological innovations. Several important points of foreign experience in forest management that should be used and implemented in Ukraine are highlighted: the development of an agroforestry approach, the introduction of biodiversity conservation programs, the European Union's forestry development strategy, and others. The results obtained can be used to develop national and local forest management strategies, implement eco-standards, adapt pollution control plans, and raise awareness and education among citizens and government officials
