The FOREST Act of 2023 is a rule that helps protect trees by stopping certain products from coming into the U.S. if they are made from ingredients grown on land where trees were cut down illegally. It also encourages companies to be honest about where their stuff comes from and gives penalties to help other countries stop illegal tree-cutting too.

The bill wants to stop people from bringing in or trading certain monkeys, like chimpanzees and gorillas, with some special rules for research places. It also says these animals can't have babies anymore and must be registered so people can keep track of them.

S. 3721 is a new rule that tells people how plants that might have been taken in a way that breaks the law are to be treated. It says these plants must be checked quickly, and if someone thinks there's a mistake, they can ask a court to help decide what to do.
