Tenure and land use
It there an explicit current document which defines or describes land and forest tenure policy? If so, has it been used to inform the forest law and other norms (or has it been produced after the forest law)? Is it up-to-date or does it require revisions in the light of REDD, mining, tenure conflicts, or other threats and opportunities?
Is there a published policy on forest tenure?
No. But, as a natural resource, lands with major forest use potential cannot be sold (Political Constitution of Peru, and Constitutional Law of Natural Resources Use). The Forests and Wildlife Law, approved by Law No.27308, sets the form for their use.
