Honduras to Protect Its
Forests
Next month Honduras will
have a new Forest and
Wildlife Law, approved
by National Congress and
setting up to 15 years
in prison for wood
smuggling.
COHDEFOR Former Manager
Rigoberto Sandoval
indicated that no law
has been so widely
discussed as this one,
from which came more
than 15 different
versions and at least
five reports over eight
years.
The new Institute of
Forest Sciences will
replace the Honduran
Forest Development
Corporation (COHDEFOR).
Congress President
Roberto Micheletti
celebrated the consensus
reached and said all the
country will benefit
from this. |
