Exceptional forest ecosystem (EFE)
Forest ecosystems located on the domain of the State and of particular interest for the conservation of biological diversity, because of their rare or ancient nature, or because they are home to one or more threatened or vulnerable plant species. Their management is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (MNRF) and they may be classified under the Sustainable Forest Development Act (LADTF, chapter A-18.1). Forest management activities are prohibited on the territory of an exceptional forest ecosystem, with few exceptions.
Currently, there are 256 classified EFEs.
