The Law of the Forest

The Law of the Forest is an ancient principle stating that every tree and plant in the forest belongs to the community or the state, not individuals. It emphasizes that natural resources are shared assets meant for the collective good, and no person has the right to claim exclusive ownership. This law promotes sustainable use and conservation, ensuring that the forest remains healthy and accessible for everyone. By respecting this law, society helps maintain ecological balance and preserves resources for future generations.
