Albania - land tenure
Recently released FAO Forestry publication “Reforming Forest Tenure: Issues, Principles and Process”
This publication provides a summary of the current situation of forest tenure globally, drawing primarily on the forest tenure assessments carried out by FAO in rent years and informed by several other sources.
