Abstract
The paper analyses the network of public policies and legislation related to forest and forestry. It reviews current trends in forest law development that contribute to sustainable uses and management and identifies policies and laws that have a bearing on natural resources development and environmental protection. The evolving regulatory framework reflects the growing importance of forests in sustainable development. It raises new issues with regard to the respective role of the public and private sectors, to the rights of land owners facing external demands, and to compensation arrangements between forest enterprises, user groups and public entities. Decision-making processes balancing local, national and global requirements play a key role in implementing public land management policies and legislation.
