Cancellation of Logging Concessions/Licenses of Logging Concessioners Violating BFD Rules and Regulations

Letter of Instructions No. 403, issued on May 19, 1976, mandates the Secretary of Natural Resources and the Director of Forest Development to take action against logging concessioners who violate regulations on selective logging, conservation, and tree replanting. The directive specifically calls for the cancellation of logging concessions or licenses for those failing to meet these obligations, addressing the urgent issue of forest destruction and denudation. Compliance reports are required to ensure accountability in the enforcement of these measures. This action emphasizes the government's commitment to preserving the country's forest resources.
