This Regulation of the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Food lays down detailed content and method of preparation, deadlines, procedures of approval, the manner of presentation and method of monitoring the implementation of forest management plans and game management plans. The data and spatial information for plans for forest and game management is prepared in the form suitable for computer processing and storage of spatial information system. Collection and display of data in the plans is carried out in the way which allows comparing with former plans. This Regulation is composed of 33 articles divided into the following Sections: General provisions (Sec. 1); Spatial planning division (Sec. 2); Forest management plan and game management plan (Sec. 3); Forest management plan at the level of forest management units (Sec. 4); Sivicultural plan (Sec. 5); Annual plans for hunting management areas (Sec. 6); Annual plans for hunting grounds (Sec. 7); Attachments (Sec. 8); Guide (Sec. 9); Final provisions (Sec. 10). The Regulation establishes procedural requirements for public participation, expert coordination, and inter-ministerial review during the adoption of individual planning documents. Draft plans must undergo public inspection, allowing local communities, forest owners, and relevant organizations to submit comments and proposals before final endorsement. Responsible administrative bodies evaluate these submissions and incorporate necessary adjustments into the final texts. Environmental acceptability assessments are integrated into the approval workflow to ensure planning measures do not adversely affect protected habitats, ecosystems, or natural resources. Implementation monitoring is conducted through periodic assessments and annual operational reporting carried out by the competent public forestry service. These monitoring procedures track key performance metrics, including timber harvesting volumes, silvicultural investments, wildlife population dynamics, and habitat conservation measures. Collected data are continually incorporated into the centralized spatial information system to enable comparative analyses against historical baselines. This ongoing data collection informs future planning cycles, allowing administrative authorities to adjust management parameters when deviations from prescribed statutory goals are detected.
