Forest Management Committees / Forest and Wildlife Management Committees
The Management Committee on Forest and Wildlife (CGFFS) established by the new Forestry Law embodies the so-called Forest Management Committees of the previous legal framework. These are spaces of participation and administration destined to the users of the forests, local communities and producers. They work alongside state representatives, collaborating in the development of joint policies and in charge of implementing certain functions in consultation with local authorities. Its purpose is to allow for dialogue and monitoring in the management of resources, ensuring the principles of forest governance advocated by the new legislation.
