General Law on Sustainable Forest Development

The main objective of the Law is to establish criteria for forest policy, regulating the protection and sustainable use of forest ecosystems and their environmental services, as well as to strengthen the contribution of forestry activity to environmental conservation and the preservation of ecological balance. The actions proposed by the law include promoting inter-institutional coordination between different levels of government to effectively manage forest resources. In addition, it focuses on the prevention and management of disruptive agents, such as pests and fires, to protect ecosystems. The law also promotes the development of infrastructure and technology necessary for sustainable forest management and encourages community participation, incentivizing community forest management to improve the quality of life of those who participate in this activity. The expected results of this law include the conservation of forest ecosystems, ensuring the protection and recovery of degraded areas and promoting biodiversity.
