Sustainable utilisation and protection of natural resources are some of the leading objectives of the present and future economic development of Serbia. In the area of Belgrade, there are 15 hunting grounds with total area reaching about 316,000 ha. The largest number is managed by the Hunting Association of Serbia through its members - Hunting Associations (10 hunting grounds - total area about 300,000 ha), while the other grounds are managed by the State Enterprise “Srbijašume“ and the Serbian Army. The hunting grounds support some of our autochthonous and biologically and economically most valuable species of big game (e.g. roe deer and wild boar), as well as our principal species of small game (brown hare, pheasant, and partridge). The above game species are also a significant (but not also a high) economic potential, however they are much more significant as the best bioindicators of environmental quality. The Afforestation Strategy of Belgrade Area (Official Gazette of the City of Belgrade, No 20/2011) defines many goals and measures aiming at the rational utilisation of forest resources, biodiversity conservation and environmental protection. Also, the subject of the Afforestation Strategy is to improve the state of natural forests and artificially established stands, as well as the establishment of new forests and green spaces of all categories and their integration into one functional entity. This study presents the results obtained by the comparative analysis of the Afforestation Strategy and the state of hunting grounds in Belgrade area, with the emphasis on the main threats and protection measures of raised game species and their forest habitats.
