Tenure and land use
Is it codified and understood who has rights to timber, minerals, non-timber forest products, wildlife, water, carbon etc? Are all these types of product available to all, or is there some form of differentiation (for example, private forest owners can issue the right to log, but only the state can issue the right to mine; or only the state can issue the right to log, but local communities who own the land can issue the right to collect non-timber forest products).
Is the ownership of different forest products clear?
Yes, according to what established in Article 4 of Law 26821, Constitutional Law on the Use of Natural Resources: "Natural resources, kept in their original place, being these renewable or not, are National Heritage. The fruits and products of natural resources obtained in the form established by the Constitutional Law on the Use of Natural Resources, i.e. by means of award of concessions, belong to the owners of the rights granted"
