    Abstract:
    This Decree sets forth the Law of Protected Areas in Guatemala. It provides that it is in the national interest to restore, protect, conserve, and manage forest life, and, to this end, it creates a system of protected areas. Provisions of the Decree deal with the scope of application of the Law, the definition of protected areas, the management of protected areas, the conservation of plants and animals, fiscal incentives for conservation, the rational exploitation of flora and fauna, violations of the Law and associated penalties, the creation of a National Council to oversee the application of the Law, and the organization, administration, responsibilities, and finances of the Council, among other things. The Law designates a number of areas as protected areas. Governmental Accord No. 759-90 of 22 August 1990 sets forth Regulations for the Law of Protected Areas. It contains provisions on the definition of terms used to describe protected areas, categories of management, procedures for designating an area as a protected area, contracts to exploit protected areas, the propagation of forest life, fiscal incentives, administration, and registers, among other things. See Diario de Centro America, Vol. 239, No. 51, 27 June 1990, pp. 1209-1216.
