[D. JOSÉ I / D. MARIA I]. RECURSOS NATURAIS — Florestas, Pescarias, Coutadas e Matérias-Primas. Portugal. 1767–1790. - [D. JOSÉ I / D. MARIA I] RECURSOS NATURAIS — Florestas, Pescarias, Coutadas e Matérias-Primas . Portugal, 1767–1790. 5 diplomas régios. A set of five decrees concerning the management and exploitation of the Kingdom's natural resources: forests, fisheries, royal hunting reserves, and raw materials of animal origin. Legislation on natural resources during the Pombaline and Marian periods simultaneously reflected concerns for economic development—stimulating industries dependent on national raw materials—and for the preservation of Crown assets, particularly the Leiria Pine Forests and the royal hunting reserves. August 8, 1767 (King José I) — Orders that rabbit and hare skins be sold exclusively to the directors of the Royal Hat Factory of Vila do Pombal, prohibiting their sale to other buyers; creation of a raw material monopoly in favor of a royal manufacture. June 21, 1787 (Queen Maria I) — To halt the decline of fisheries in the Kingdom and adjacent islands: total exemption from duties and fees for salted tuna in the Algarve and other species; promotion of the national fishing sector. c. 1783 (Queen Maria I) — Orders that anyone caught collecting or transporting ashes from wildfires in the Royal Hunting Grounds be imprisoned for six months and lose their carriages or horses; protection of the royal hunting grounds against the illegal collection of resources. 5 March 1790 (Queen Maria I) — Extinguishes the Superintendency of the Leiria Pine Forests and its officials; abolishes its privileges; establishes a new Administration in its place; reforms the forest management of the Crown Pine Forests. sd — Extinction of the Superintendency of the Leiria Pine Forests and its Officers; suspension of all the Couteiros and suppression of their Privileges; decree related to the previous one, possibly a version or complement to the same reform. The collection documents different dimensions of natural resource policy: the control of raw materials in favor of royal manufactures, the promotion of fisheries, the protection of royal hunting reserves, and the reorganization of the forestry administration of the Leiria Pine Forests. Note: items 066 and 214 both deal with the Leiria Pine Forests and may correspond to different versions or phases of the same reform. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
