"The new law introduces a concept, "vuelo forestal", which separates rights to land from rights to the forest cover. Thus, trees can be owned separately from the land, "which means the concept of ecosystem is ignored,"activist Juan Carlos Preciado told IPS.
Preciado is a legal adviser to Consolidation of the Amazon Region - Colombia (Coama), 1999 winner of the Right Livelihood Award or Alternative Nobel Prize.
Sandra Suárez, minister of the environment, housing and territorial development, said the "vuelo forestal is a (bank) guarantee and only applies to plantation forests." "
