About this statute

This Order sets out how protected state forests that are not covered by special laws are managed. This article says which forests count as protected forests under the Order. Natural forests not governed by special laws must be protected, including by planting surrounding trees or other boundary-marking methods, and by prohibiting activities or tree cutting in the forest. Activities in natural forests require permission from the Minister responsible for forests. Local authorities must safeguard natural forests and report on their management and conservation; activities in a natural forest are not allowed unless authorized by the Minister in charge of forests.
