Forestry laws govern activities in designated forest lands, most commonly with respect to forest management and timber harvesting.[1][2] Forestry laws generally adopt management policies for public forest resources, such as multiple use and sustained yield.[3] Forest management is split between private and public management, with public forests being sovereign property of the State. Forestry laws are now considered an international affair.[4] [5]

Governmental agencies are generally responsible for planning and implementing forestry laws on public forest lands, and may be involved in forest inventory, planning, and conservation, and oversight of timber sales.[6] Forestry laws are also dependent on social and economic contexts of the region in which they are implemented.[7] The development of scientific forestry management is based on the precise measurement of the distribution and volume of wood in a given parcel, the systematic felling of trees, and their replacement by standard, carefully aligned rows of mono-cultural plantations that could be harvested at set times.[8]
