Is there a national forest forum?

Is there any form of government-recognised national level roundtable dialogue which meets regularly (annually or more often) to allow citizens to raise issues of concern with the national forest authorities? If so, what is the status of any discussions or decisions made (are they documented; are they legally binding in any way)?

Partially. As far as permanent dialogue spaces goes, Article 5 of the Forests and Wildlife Law, approved by Law No.27308, establishes the creation of the National Consultative Council of Forest Policy (CONAFOR) which, similarly to the National Table for Forest Dialogue and Consensus (MNDCF), formalised by Ministerial Resolution No.235-2005-AG, has not been implemented so far.
Currently, the participatory and decentralised process of revision and up-date of the Legislation on Forests and Wildlife is underway. This is established by Ministerial Resolution No.0544-2009-AG, whose conclusions will have to be merged with the agreements of the National Group of Coordination for the Development of Amazonian Peoples, which is in charge of outlining a Comprehensive Sustainable Development Plan for Amazonian Peoples, with regard to Education, Health, Titling and Formalisation of Lands and other necessary measures, according to what Supreme Resolution No.117-2009-PCM establishes, and which is modified by the Supreme Resolution No.211-2009-PCM
