BACKGROUND5

Logging and timber trade in Cameroun-Est (eastern province) have been marked by widespread illegality as a result of the province’s isolation and inadequate controls. Illegal practices are a major obstacle to SFM because they have the following effects:

Ecological — forest degradation and overexploitation of timber species;

Economic — loss of up to two-thirds of the expected taxes because the state fails to collect them; and

Social — growing inequity between the few people who benefit and the many who do not, as well as more frequent conflicts between stakeholders.
