The Ministry of Public Security will work with the relevant ministries before submitting the plan to the Prime Minister for approval.
The plan aims to boost the Government's efforts in improving forest management. In the first six months of this year alone, more than 510 hectares of forests were illegally destroyed, according to the Ministry's latest statistics.
