State forest management remains the responsibility of the forest administration, though the law does not specify the methods. Various subsidiary texts to the forestry law have also been issued. These include regulations for the exploitation of forests, decisions on the setting of stumpage and other forest fees, guidelines for auctions of standing wood, instructions for protection against forest fires, a regulation containing the principles for the selection and establishment of protected areas, and a regulation for the use of forests for recreational purposes. It provides for the preparation of wildlife management plans and constitutes an appropriate framework. This Law goes further than the above forest law towards decentralizing user rights to local government institutions and allowing participation of the affected population.
Communes are fully responsible for the technical and financial management of communal pastures.
Communes can also establish ten-year lease contracts with persons interested in using communal pastures. Environmental licenses, issued by the environmental authority, are required for a wide variety of activities such as building of infrastructure, exploration and exploitation of soil, forests, wildlife and fish, and dealing with hazardous substances. These regulations provide for public participation at each step in the process.
