Professional and semi-professional sawyers logged timber above their quota limit and targeted high-value tree species. Legalizing artisanal chainsaw milling (CSM) avoids bribes, induces higher labour productivity and creates positive forest externalities. Legalizing artisanal CSM leads to higher net profit, profit margin, added value, social welfare and a lower Gini coefficient suggesting a more equitable income share. Government should use legal tax revenues to improve the informal CSM sector, grant credit, fight corruption and to encourage reforestation programs. SUMMARY Cameroon has been at the centre of global concerns about illegal timber logging for several decades, much of which has been driven by the informal timber sector. Hence, this study was conducted with the objectives to assess the benefits gained by different sawyer categories undertaking illegal timber logging and compare them to simulated legal benefits in order to envisage solutions to legalize the activity. Our results indicate that in spite of its supplementary tax expenses, legal timber logging would lead to higher net profit, profit margin, value added, social welfare and a lower Gini coefficient because the legally produced timber avoids the payment of bribes, is sold at higher prices, induces higher labour productivity and positive externalities from safeguarded forests. Hence, the full enforcement of the provisions of the 1994 Forestry Law to legalize artisanal chainsaw milling activities in Cameroon is recommended. Le Cameroun a été depuis plusieurs décennies au centre d'intérêt global à propos de l'exploitation illégale du bois, majoritairement dominée par le secteur informel. Cette étude a donc été conduite dans le but d'évaluer les bénéfices gagnés par les différentes catégories de scieurs engagées dans l'exploitation illégale du bois et les comparer aux bénéfices légaux simulés en vue d'envisager des solutions pour légaliser cette activité. Nos résultats indiquent qu'en dépit de ses dépenses supplémentaires dues aux taxes, l'exploitation légale du bois conduirait à un(e) plus grand(e) profit net, marge bénéficiaire, valeur ajoutée, bénéfice social et un plus petit coefficient de Gini parce que le bois produit légalement est exempt du paiement de pourboires, est vendu plus cher, induit à une productivité élevée de main d'œuvre et fournit des externalités positives à travers la conservation des forêts. Par conséquent, l'étude recommande le respect total des dispositions de la loi forestière de 1994 en vue de légaliser les activités du sciage artisanal à la tronçonneuse au Cameroun. Camerún ha estado en el foco de la preocupación mundial por la tala ilegal de madera durante varias décadas, en gran parte impulsada por el sector maderero informal.

Increasing temperature and erratic rainfall in Kaski and Tanahu districts has been recorded. Forest fire, flood and landslide are frequent climate induced disasters. Forests with a limited range of elevation, bioclimate, species richness, habitats and culture have compromised levels of resilience. Reforestation, agroforestry and traditional forest managment practices are common responses to combat climate change. SUMMARY In order to appraise climate change effects and adaptation practices in the forestry sector in Nepal, community forests in Tanahu and Kaski districts, representing tropical and temperate bioclimates respectively, were studied through a literature review, field observation, questionnaire survey and key informant interviews. Although it is clear that climate change is resulting in warmer temperatures, more erratic rainfall, deeper and more prolonged droughts, pervasive landslides and frequent floods and forest-fires, the effects are varied at the district level. The community forests of Tanahu are less resilient as they have limited elevational and bioclimatic range, and forest plant species and habitats, and are vulnerable to forest fire and overgrazing, whereas that of Kaski district cover a wide range of altitude and bioclimate, harboring a diverse range of plant species, habitats and traditional culture and, consequently, are highlighted for conservation by the forest authority. In order to make community forestry more resilient, embracing local adaptation is suggested with the aim of enhancing traditional forest management practices, lessening climate change hazards and increasing conservation trade-offs through strengthening the ownership of local communities and improving the circularity of forest service generation and consumption. Afin d'évaluer les effets du changement climatique et les pratiques adaptatives dans le secteur forestier au Népal, les forêts communautaires des districts de Tanahu et de Kaski, qui représentent respectivement un bioclimat tropical et tempéré, ont été étudiées par une analyse de la littérature, une observation sur le terrain, un questionnaire d'enquête et des interviews d'informateurs-clé. Bien qu'il soit clair que le changement climatique résulte en des températures plus élevées, des pluies irrégulières et des périodes de sécheresses plus étendues, des glissements de terrains à répétition ainsi par que des incendies et des inondations fréquentes, ces effets varient au niveau des districts. Les forêts communautaires de Tanahu sont moins résistantes du fait de leur plage bioclimatique et d'élévation limitée, tout comme leurs habitats et leurs espèces forestières restreintes. Elles sont vulnérables aux feux de forêt et au surpâturage.

The two criminal phenomena use vast organized networks from upstream to downstream through the middle/meso and the transversal level. Both illegal practices generate similar negative impacts at the levels of biodiversity, socio-economic factors, and finances for both the state and local communities. Sources/areas of supply are commonly forest concessions and protected areas. The destination for the illegal goods are mainly urban zones (domestic consumption) and Asian markets (exportation). SUMMARY Illegal exploitation of wildlife and forest resources are part of transnational crime, in which Cameroon plays a part. A review of documentation, interviews with key experts, and collection of field data in the markets and ports of the Cameroon's three main cities enabled the gathering of information on connections and synergies between these two criminal acts. The empirical evidence presented in this study demonstrates a strong connection between the illegal wildlife trade and illegal logging in Cameroon. These two areas of criminal activity maintain synergies through bad governance, weakening of rule of law, mafia connections between the two groups' actors involved and sharing access routes.

The understandings and expectations of samråd differ among actors in terms of procedure, issues, efficiency and outcomes. The shift from centralized samråd between authorities to a system with local samråd between land users has not undermined forestry's position as the dominant actor. As compared to the traditional understanding, a watered-down meaning of samråd has evolved where the samråd practice has merely become an instrument for information gathering. The development of participatory mapping suggests potential for new thinking about current power relations in samråd. SUMMARY In northern Sweden, forestry and reindeer husbandry overlap spatially and judicially. To mitigate conflicting objectives regarding land use, the concept of “samråd” has been introduced as a form of institutional arrangement of environmental politics. This study explores how stakeholders have interpreted this concept and corresponding processes from its first introduction in 1923 to 2019. Language, including the cartographic language, is regarded as a mean for argumentation. Results show that the understandings and expectations of samråd differ among actors in terms of procedure, issues, efficiency and outcomes. As compared to the lexical definition and understanding, the samråd practice has merely become an instrument for information exchange before decisions are made, rather than a functional arrangement for conflict mitigation. This ambiguity is in parallel to a deregulated forest policy and a watered-down meaning of samråd in public administration. However, the transformative potential of participatory mapping suggests a new way of thinking about power relations in land use matters within the framework of samråd. La foresterie et l'élevage des rennes se chevauchent judiciairement et dans l'espace en Suède du nord. Pour atténuer les objectifs conflictuels quant à l'utilisation des terres, le concept de ‘samråd’ a été introduit en tant que forme d'arrangement institutionnel des politiques environnementales.

Les résultats indiquent que les compréhensions du samråd et les attentes qui lui sont liées diffèrent parmi les acteurs, en termes de procédure, des problèmes, de l'efficacité et des résultats. Comparé à sa définition lexicale et à la compréhension dont il est l'objet, la pratique du samråd n'est devenue qu'un simple instrument d'échange d'information avant les prises de décision, au lieu de l’arrangement fonctionnel d’une atténuation des conflits qu’il est censé incarner.

The Culturally Significant Plant Species Initiative provides an example of an Indigenous-led effort for regional dialogue and knowledge co-production. A long-term platform approach promotes plant-related research, outreach, habitat restoration, and land management efforts. SUMMARY The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI), and the USDA Forest Service are engaged in integrated research and action to manage forests for culturally significant plants within portions of traditional Cherokee homelands. The effort seeks to support EBCI arts, food sovereignty, and cultural practices while promoting coordinated forest stewardship guided by Cherokee knowledge. The focus area includes the Qualla Boundary (EBCI tribal lands); the Pisgah, Nantahala, and Cherokee National Forests; and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Examination of synergistic efforts to date suggests an emerging platform for access, sustainable harvesting and improved ecological conditions. Here, a platform is conceived of as long-term institutionalized collaboration across policies, practices, and governance at different scales.

Hutsuls living in Romania and Ukraine share perceptions of forest benefits but differ on perceptions of drivers of forest change. Hutsuls living in Ukraine rely more on forest medicinal plants than do Hutsuls living in Romania. Political boundaries act as a useful tool to help explain and understand differences in local people's perceptions of forests and their uses. Hutsuls' perspectives should be integrated into landscape management in order to minimize forest degradation. SUMMARY Socio-economic and political contexts play a major role in a community's perception of the environment, determining natural resource use. We examined perceptions of forest and forest resource use among two Hutsul communities in Bukovina sharing a similar cultural background but living in a region divided by the national border created between Romania and Ukraine in the 1940s. Twenty-nine open-ended and 61 semi-structured interviews were conducted with Hutsuls from Romania and Ukraine. Hutsuls across the border mostly share perceptions of forest benefits, while they differ in perceptions of environmental changes and the drivers of these changes. Hutsuls of Ukraine showed a greater connectedness and a stronger tie to the forest as an essential element of their livelihoods. Moreover, Hutsuls in Ukraine rely more on forest medicinal plants than do Hutsuls in Romania.

Kitayama sugi constitutes an indispensable resource to preserve Kyoto cultural treasures such as teahouses, and a unique Sukiya-zukuri architectural style. Japan's national forest policies are not aligned with small scale Kitayama sugi production. It is necessary to seek new value chains around non-traditional services that the Kitayama complex provides to assure its durability. New and multiple value chains require policy integration across multiple policy domains that do not have a tradition to integrate easily. SUMMARY The region north of Kyoto is referred to as Kitayama, which literally translates as North Mountains. The region is the location of Cryptomeria japonica, Japanese cedar or sugi, production in Japan. Cedar logs grown there are used as pillars in the construction of buildings in a typical Japanese minimalist style, but also traditional rooms included in modern houses. Cedar was planted widely in Japan following World War II not only to rebuild the economy but also to grow raw materials to contribute to post-war housing reconstruction. In Kitayama, cedar has been grown for over 600 years and using specific silvicultural techniques by a community that has a unique cultural legacy which developed around cedar cultivation. The Kitayama sugi economic-socio-cultural-ecological complex thrived following World War II but is currently under stress. Demand for its highly priced products is declining. It is recognized in Japan and by the city of Kyoto as a valuable cultural historical heritage and efforts are being made to preserve it as such. The success of these efforts has been mixed so far. This paper reviews the Kitayama sugi economic-socio-cultural-ecological complex in order to understand how historical indigenous forestry practices change over time and how they might be dealt with in advanced societies such as Japan.

As a part of the implementation of a signed modern treaty in Canada, the AFR is a technical and collaborative process; it is nonetheless part of a power struggle between Québec and the Crees. The issue of sovereignties is at the heart of Indigenous nations/state collaborative processes. The collaborative process of the Adapted Forestry Regime produces a spiral of complexification because of the close entanglement of technical and political issues. The burden of dilemmas produced by Indigenous/State collaborative processes falls disproportionately on Indigenous parties and should be taken into account in assessing their fairness. SUMMARY The Adapted Forestry Regime (AFR) of the Paix des Braves agreement is an important stepping-stone in the long process of involving Indigenous Peoples in state management of forestlands in Canada. This paper explores the challenges raised by a process involving the Cree nation and the Québec provincial government in the implementation of a collaborative approach to forest management on Cree traditional lands. We present three key processes that have contributed to the AFR since 2002, each of which led to further agreements, committees and processes. While the Crees have obtained additional powers for forestland management through the AFR, our analysis reveals the complexity of these processes that must deal with both political and technical issues that are often closely intricated one with the other. Ultimately, it is the Crees who bear the heaviest burden of the compromises that must be made implementing this collaborative process. ᐊᓐ ᑳ ᒋᐦᒋᐸᔨᐦᑖᑲᓂᐧᐃᒡ ᐋ ᓇᓈᑲᒋᐦᑖᑲᓂᐧᐃᒡ ᐁ ᓅᑖᐦᑎᐧᑫᓈᓂᐧᐃᒡ ᐊᓂᑌ ᑳ ᐅᐦᒋᐸᔨᒡ ᓛ ᐯᐃ ᑌ ᐱᕌᕝ ᑖᐧᐯ ᒌᐦᒋᐧᐁ ᐃᑌᔨᐦᑖᑯᓐ ᐧᐁᓲ ᐁᑯᑦ ᐯᒋᐦᑎᓈᑲᓂᐧᐃᐧᑖᐤ ᐃᔨᔨᐧᐊᒡ ᐧᐃᔭᐧᐋᐤ ᑲᔦ ᒉ ᒌ ᐧᐄᒋᐦᐄᐧᐁᐧᑖᐤ ᐁ ᐧᐃᔭᔑᐧᐋᑖᑲᓂᐧᐃᔨᒡ ᑖᓐᑌ ᒉ ᐃᐦᑑᑖᑲᓂᐧᐃᔨᒡ ᐊᓂᐦᐄ ᒥᔅᑎᑯᔅᑳᔨᒡ ᐊᔅᒌᐦ ᐆᑕ ᑳᓈᑖ᙮ ᐁᑯᑦ ᐆᑕ ᒪᓯᓇᐦᐄᑲᓂᐦᒡ ᐧᐋᐦᑖᑯᐦᒡ ᑖᓐ ᑳ ᐃᔑ ᓂᒋᔥᑲᐦᐧᑳᐤ ᐧᐃᔭᐧᐋᐤ ᐃᔨᔨᐧᐊᒡ ᑲᔦ ᒫᒃ ᑯᐯᒃ ᑎᐯᔨᐦᒋᒉᓯᐤ ᐁᒌ ᐃᐦᑑᑕᐦᐧᑳᐤ ᒉ ᒌ ᐧᐄᒋ ᐋᐸᑎᓰᒥᑐᐧᑖᐤ ᒫᒨ ᒉ ᓇᓈᑭᒋᐦᑖᐧᑖᐤ ᓅᑖᐦᑎᐧᑫᐤ ᐋᐸᑎᓰᐧᐃᓂᔨᐤ ᐊᓂᑌ ᐃᔨᔨᐤ ᐊᔅᒌᐦᒡ ᑲᔦ ᐃᔨᔨᐤ ᓂᑑᐦᐆᔅᒌᐦ᙮ ᓂᔥᑐ ᒉᐧᑳᓂᐦᐄ ᒋᐧᐋᐸᐦᑎᔭᑎᓈᓐ ᑖᓐᑌ ᐁᔑᓈᑯᐦᒡ ᐊᓐ ᐋᐸᑎᓰᐧᐃᓐ ᐁ ᓇᓈᑭᒋᐦᑖᑲᓂᐧᐃᒡ ᐁᓅᑖᐦᑎᐧᑫᓈᓂᐧᐃᒡ ᐃᔅᐱᓐ 2002 ᑳ ᐃᔅᐸᔨᒡ, ᐁᐧᐊᒄ ᒫᒃ ᐧᐁᐦᒋ ᐃᔑᓈᑯᐦᒡ ᒦᓐ ᑯᑕᒡᐦ ᓇᔅᑲᒧᐧᐃᓐᐦ ᒉ ᒌ ᐅᐦᒋ ᓂᐦᑖᐧᐃᒋᐦᐧᑳᐤᐦ ᑲᔦ ᐁ ᒫᒨᐱᔥᑖᑲᓂᐧᐃᒡ ᐁ ᐱᒥᐸᔨᐦᑖᑲᓂᐧᐃᒡ ᐋᐸᑎᓰᐧᐃᓐ᙮ ᐋᑕ ᒫᒃ ᐁᒌ ᐱᐦᑯᐦᑎᒫᓲᐧᑖᐤ ᑲᔥᒋᐦᐅᐧᐃᓐᐦ ᒉ ᒌ ᐧᐃᔭᔑᐧᐋᑕᐦᐧᑳᐤᐦ ᑲᔦ ᐧᐃᔭᐧᐋᐤ ᑖᓐᑌ ᒉ ᐃᐦᑎᓈᓂᐧᐃᔨᒡ ᐁᐧᐄ ᓅᑖᐦᑎᐧᑫᓂᐧᐃᔨᒡ ᐊᓂᑌ ᐃᔨᔨᐤ ᐊᔅᒌᐦᒡ ᐊᓐ ᐅᐦᒋ ᑳ ᒋᐦᒋᒌᐸᔨᐦᑖᒃᓇᐃᐧᐃᒡ ᐁ ᓇᓈᑭᒋᐦᑖᑲᓂᐧᐃᒡ ᐁ ᓅᑖᑎᐦᐧᑫᓈᓂᐧᐃᒡ ᐁᐧᐊᒄ ᑳ ᐃᔑ ᒥᔅᑯᐧᐋᐦᑖᔮᐦᒡᐃᔥᑯᑕᒃ ᑳ ᓈᓂᑑ ᒋᔅᒉᔨᐦᑕᒫᐦᒡ ᓈᔥᒡ ᐁ ᒪᒣᐦᒡ ᐃᔑᓈᑯᓐ ᐊᓐ ᐋᐸᑎᓰᐧᐃᓐ ᑖᓐ ᐁ ᐃᔑ ᑖᐦᑭᐦᐄᒉᐸᔨᒡ ᐊᓂᑌ ᑎᐯᔨᐦᒋᒉᓰᓈᐦᒡ᙮ ᐧᐃᔭᐧᐋᐤ ᒫᒃ ᐃᔨᔨᐧᐊᒡ ᒫᐧᐊᒡ ᒥᔥᑎᐦᐄ ᑎᔮᑭᐦᐆᑯᐧᐊᒡ ᐁᐧᐄ ᐱᒥᐸᔨᐦᑖᑲᓂᐧᐃᔨᒡ ᐆᔨᐤ ᐋᐸᑎᓰᐧᐃᓂᔨᐤ᙮ Le régime forestier adapté (RFA) de la Paix des Braves est une étape importante dans le long processus d'implication des Peuples autochtones dans la gestion des forêts au Canada.
