Forest management is one of the important issues in protecting and identifying the priorities of forest areas. Therefore, due to the involvement of individuals and legal entities in making managerial decisions, the use of methods with the least damage to the environment and accelerating the process of society requires the use of appropriate methods such as game theory. The power and ability of game theory as a mathematical tool for decision making is due to its methodology in terms of constructing and analyzing the problems and issues that human beings face in strategic choices. Therefore, in the applied experiment of this method, the strategies of global registration conditions of several Hyrcanian forests were studied. A series of questionnaires were used to study the strategy of the games; the tree model was tested for a 12-step question solution with a permutation of 5 sites and 4 IUCN criteria. The results of the analyzes in this section show that only one strategy out of
