The forest surrounding Suur Munamägi is experiencing significant decline due to an infestation of bark beetles. The Rõuge vald is seeking to remove trees exhibiting damage from the bark infestation in an effort to prevent further spread. However, the Environmental Agency has determined that widespread removal is not feasible. The agency cites the presence of several rare lichens within the forest ecosystem, necessitating a restricted approach. Removal efforts are currently limited to addressing trees posing an immediate threat, prioritizing visitor safety within the forest.
