The Council of Indigenous Peoples, in accordance with Article 4, Paragraph 4 of the Logging Ban Compensation for Lands Reserved for Indigenous Peoples Act, jointly revised and promulgated the Regulations for the Implementation of the Logging Ban Compensation for Lands Reserved for Indigenous Peoples with the Ministry of Agriculture on January 8, 2024. These regulations specify the criteria for determining logging ban compensation, processing periods for various responsible agencies, and applicants' relief procedures.

In addition, the CIP has completed the establishment of the "Public Information Zone for Logging Ban for Lands Reserved for Indigenous Peoples" launched on January 1, 2024. Through satellite imagery and professional image processing to assist in interpreting the compensation criteria, the system reduces the risk of on-site inspections for inspection personnel to protect health and safety. An electronic management and acceptance system has been established to enhance the efficiency of administrative agency case management and provide indigenous peoples with real-time online progress tracking and application functions, achieving the goals of government information openness, transparency, and simplification, as well as convenience for the general public. A guide for operating these systems is available on the CIP website's Logging Ban Compensation Zone.
