Dear Suresh,
here you can find about Polish model of forests management:
http://www.lasy.gov.pl/en/our-work/sf-national-forest-holding
Basic document for the Polish State Forests is the Forest Act of September 28, 1991. You can find it here:

And last but not least you can find some publications in English here:

Best regards!
Hello Przemysław Osóbka
Thank you so much for sharing information.
As a Canadian living in the US, there are some interesting differences between the two countries. While dated, this paper compares the federal forest management in the US with regional (provincial) forest management in Canada: http://scholarship.law.umt.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1018&context=plrlr This federal vs. regional control is likely a useful way to begin to compare countries in other parts of the world. You may also find these IUCN reports useful on community involvement in forest management around the world. Some can be downloaded as PDFs while others don't seem to be available -- you may have to reach out to IUCN to access those: https://portals.iucn.org/library/taxonomy/term/37227
Hello Angela E. Boag,
Thank you for the giving the relevant links.
Good Day.
In Indonesia, forest management policies, especially in natural forests, are carried out by selective cutting systems based on tree diameter limits. For production forest the diameter limit of trees that can be harvested is 40 cm and above, while in limited production forest 50 cm and above. Harvesting is carried out by forestry companies that have been licensed by the government by applying reduced impact logging techniques.
Hello Soenaro,
Can you provide some more insight into the manner in which the reduced impact logging is carried out in Natural Forest. It would be great if you could share some very relevant and significant reference documents.
Looking forward to your reply.
Good day

India I think you may be already aware we have colonial period Indian Forest Act of 1927 and Forest protection Act 1980. Besides these for wildlife have wildlife protection act 1972. Environment protection act , 1986, biodiversity act 2002. Regarding policy so far in forestry we first policy in 1896, then 1952 and 1988 and recent draft 2016.
In Brazil, we have a forest code, which is the main law that directs Brazilian forestry policy.

We also have a special law that has developed classes of protected areas.

In practice, well, things do not work as they should.
