Spanish term

vuelo

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Forestry / Wood / Timber
Canopy doesn't really work here, they wouldn't just harvest the canopy. Could this mean "extent" as in "area"?

"Propietario/s del recurso se refiere al titular de los derechos de propiedad y de usufructo del suelo y/o el vuelo de una determinada Unidad de Gestión Forestal, incluidos los derechos consuetudinarios legalmente reconocidos."

forest cover

This might work, based on the context of the sentence. The reference seems to point to a "forest concession", but that does not really fit into the sentence.

Hope this helps,

from a forestry glossary:

forest cover 1) all trees and other plants occupying the ground in a forest, including ground cover

One of the challenges to the proposal is the continuation of the concept of "vuelo forestal", or **forest cover**, borrowed from Bolivian legislation, which considers the forest itself - not the land - as a good that can serve as collateral in financial or credit operations.

The new law introduces a concept, "vuelo forestal", which separates rights to land from rights to the **forest cover**. Thus, trees can be owned separately from the land, "which means the concept of ecosystem is ignored,"activist Juan Carlos Preciado told IPS.
