Timber Legislation

Timber legislation refers to laws and regulations governing the management, harvesting, and conservation of forest resources. Its goal is to ensure sustainable use of timber, protect ecosystems, and balance economic interests with environmental stewardship. These laws specify who can cut timber, how much they can harvest, and how forests should be replanted or preserved. They also establish guidelines to prevent illegal logging, promote responsible forestry practices, and conserve biodiversity, thereby helping to maintain healthy forests for future generations.
