Minister of the Environment Erki Savisaar (Center) tells ERR in an interview that the government should have a strategic reserve of firewood similarly to other fuels. The ministry is prepared to discuss hiking logging volumes to alleviate the industry's material shortage and avoid massive bark beetle damage.
