State-led forest rehabilitation projects were implemented for rehabilitation of the degraded forests. Further, the legal and institutional preparations were made for forest management. As stipulated in the Framework Act on Forest (2001), the national forest plan is established and upgraded every 10 years. Under the national forest plan, the KFS enhances a systematic foundation for sustainable forest management and provides forest benefits for the public.
