The Confederation shall make global compensatory payments to the cantons on the basis of programme agreements for measures necessary for the fulfilment of function of the protective forest, in particular for:
the maintenance of the protective forest, including the prevention and remediation of forest damage that endanger the protective forest;
the guaranteeing of the infrastructure for the maintenance of the protective forest insofar as it takes the forest as a natural community into account.
By way of exception, it may make compensatory payments by means of a ruling for projects that originate as the result of an extraordinary natural event.1
The amount of the compensatory payments made is determined by the protective forest area to be maintained, the risk to be hindered and the impact of the measures.
