The National Forest Corporation or CONAF (Corporación Nacional Forestal) is a Chilean private, non-profit organization, through which the Chilean state contributes to the development and sustainable management of the country's forest resources. CONAF is overseen and funded by the Ministry of Agriculture of Chile.〔(CONAF Quienes somos (ES) ) http://www.conaf.cl retrieved on November 13, 2014〕 It administers the forest policies of Chile and promotes the development of the sector with sustainable forest management. CONAF is also the governing body of all the national parks of Chile, including those without forests or major vegetation, such as Llullaillaco National Park and others in the Atacama Desert. == History == CONAF was created on May 13, 1970 as the "Reforestation Corporation" or COREF (Corporación de Reforestación'). In 1972 it acquired its current powers, structure and name. In 1976 it adopted Forestín, a coypu, as its mascot.〔(Libro Corporativo CONAF ) Libro Corporativo CONAF Primera edición, agosto 2013, Santiago de Chile, Copyright: Corporación Nacional Forestal, Inscripcion Nº 230805. ISBN 978-956-12-2601-2, retrieved on November 13, 2014〕 In 1984, under Chilean law Nº 18,348,〔(law Nº 18,348 (ES) ) Law that creates the "Corporacion Nacional Forestal y de proteccion de recursos naturales renovables" (Biblioteca del Congreso Nacional de Chile - BCN, retrieved on November 13, 2014〕 a move was made to modify the private corporation status of CONAF and make it a government agency. In October 2012 the Chilean senate considered and rejected a proposal to convert CONAF's legal nature from that of a "private corporation" to that of a public (government) agency. The rejected proposal would have created a National Forest Service ''(Servicio Nacional Forestal)''. During the legislative proceedings, testimony was made that addressed the "anomalous" nature of a private corporation performing functions that should be performed by a wholly government agency or agencies. However, as of November 2014, such a status change has not taken place. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Forest Corporation (Chile)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
