Abstract

This Law sets forth the basic forestry legislation. The boundaries of protection forest are determined and declared to the surrounding villages. The conditions, principles and periods of designation of such forests and management, development, improvement and utilisation principles and decisions are decided by the Ministry of Forestry. The grazing of herds on the State forest lands should be done according to the plans and permission of the forestry administration. The costs of cutting, hauling, and stacking with tariff price and the necessities of the ones who are entitled to the right to building timber and the people among this group with poor status are determined by the board of village alderman with the participation of the forest chief considering the productivity of the forest and the requirements of the demanders. Private forests are managed and administered in accordance with management plans and maps undertaken by their owners and approved by the forest administration. A Reforestation Fund is established within the Ministry of Forestry for supporting reforestation/afforestation establishment and maintenance activities by the villagers.
