Forest Law (No. 75 of 1955).

Forests are divided into three categories: State Forests; Wakif Forest (Endowed Forest); Private Forest. The provisions of this Law except those on technical and administrative supervision shall apply to State Forests. Article 4 contains general provisions which seem to apply to all forests. Article 5 provides for concessions in Reserved Forests. Article 6 specifies activities prohibited in Closed Forests and Reserved Forests. "Reserved Forest" and "Closed Forest" are protected areas defined by article 1, placed under the control and administration of the Directorate General of Forests and Plantations. The remaining provisions of the Law deal mainly with enforcement, offences and penalties. (19 articles and 1 preamble)
