Spanish term or phrase: vuelo
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
Explanation:
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.
