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?
Forest land ownership is not delivered in accordance with Article 66 of the Constitution of Peru and the Organic Law on the Use of Natural Resources. Forest land cannot be granted in property, but through forest concessions for the use of timber and non-timber resources.
