This Law aims to manage and develop the pasture by identifying the areas of rough grazing, planning the grazing according to scientific bases, protecting the natural vegetation, conserving water resources and organizing their use, and conducting studies and researches for the protection of rough grazing. The provisions of this Law concern the state-owned properties allocated for pasture and exclude cultivated lands and other particular cases. The Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform is responsible for regulating the pasture and organizing the livestock movement according to the seasons and the regions. It is forbidden to drill artesian wells and to cut plants or trees in pasturelands. The Law determines the sanctions in case of damage to the pasturelands.
