Résumé

These Rules provide for sustainable forest harvest and community management of forest resources and provide with respect to granting of a permit, timber-licence, special-use licence, contract, joint management agreement, concession, community forest management agreement and cultivation-permit and the exercise of rights related to such authorizations. The Rules require the Kenya Forest Service to adopt a management plan covering a period of at least five years in respect of every state forest. A person who wishes to make an application to the Service for an authorization shall prepare a site-specific forest management plan in accordance with guidelines prescribed by the Service. Activities lasting more than one year require an operations plan for every year of activity. The Service shall evaluate the site-specific forest management plans and operation plans submitted to it. The Service may invite the private sector to participate in the sustainable management of state forests. The Rules define the basis for such participation (e.g. licence, concession or agreement) and set out eligibility requirements for potential participants. The Service may enter into a joint management agreement in the management of state forests. The primary purpose of a joint management agreement is to conserve the forest. An agreement may allow limited consumptive use of forest resources if sustainable.
