Belova, O. 2007. XXVIIIth Congress of the International Union of Game Biologists IUGB (August 13th – 18th 2007, Uppsala/Sweden). Baltic Forestry 13 (2): 241 – 243. (Chronicle)

The object of game management is game animals that have significant formative role in the forest communities as the inseparable part of forest biota. Rapid changes resulting from human activities has got animal populations to adapt to changing over the time primarily through retreat from unfavourable habitats to which they were poorly adapted. They also respond to altered environments through the evolutionary process of natural selection to maintain population fitness.
The International Union of Game Biologists (IUGB) encourages the exchange of scientific and practical knowledge in the field of game and wildlife management, the broad field of game biology and international cooperation in game and game management. The XXVIII^th Congress of the International Union of Game Biologists IUGB was held in Uppsala, Sweden on 13^th - 18^th August 2007 seeking to create a bridge among scientists, game managers and authorities and those studying the human dimensions of game management. The importance of the game biology research and of the Congress is revealed.
