# 6.6 Risk of Reversal (PREFERRED)

corresponds to [2.5.10](https://methodologies.nature-value.org/fnr/readme/6-quantification/spaces/b021HTaWqvtGHZt5ri0G/pages/XJu4VNLduyFDoZafrhoa#id-2.5.10-risk-of-reversal) NCS

The legal framework for forest management in Europe generally requires that forests be managed in a way that allows them to continuously and unrestrictedly fulfil their functions.

## Risk minimisation in natural forest reserves

The provisions of NCS Chap. apply. [5.6.2](https://methodologies.nature-value.org/fnr/readme/6-quantification/spaces/b021HTaWqvtGHZt5ri0G/pages/6WcX0YkG01oc7BBdPvWC#id-5.6.2-reversals) to ensure the integrity of the project register.

**"Official" Reserves**: subsidies for establishing forest reserves are intended to promote biodiversity. There are contracts with the state or other long-term commitments on a public-law basis. Examples of this in Germany are compensation areas with eco-points or compensations in Switzerland. The term is at least 50 years. Natural forest reserves with institutional status can be implemented as individual projects by the owners or within an IIFM project and within a programme. In the case of official protection status, additional official assurance of the project is provided.

In the event of the abolition of a natural forest reserve, the climate integrity must be maintained by continuing without official status, otherwise by compensation for the cancelled VERs.

Natural forest reserves with and without "official" status set up according to Chap. [6.4](/fnr/readme/6-quantification/4-durability-monitoring.md) introduces a monitoring system that confirms the protection status for each monitoring period.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://methodologies.nature-value.org/fnr/readme/6-quantification/6-reversal-risk.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
