History

edit

The Forestry Bureau was originally established in 1945 as the Office of Forestry Administration. In June 1947, the office was disbanded and the Forestry Administration Division was established. The division was then reorganized on 15 February 1960 to form the Forestry Bureau.[1] It was then later renamed as Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency. In 2025 the Forestry and Nature Conservation Agency launched a website to educate the public about illegal logging.[2]
