Exercice I (5points)
You may decide that they will help build community capacity for forest resource management
and that this will decrease illegal logging in indigenous communities and conserve the state of
primary forest in those communities. You may assume that stronger community capacity will
increase community knowledge about their rights, and with these rights, they will exert more
control over external actors, including those responsible for the illegal logging. You may also
assume this control will result in more illegal wood confiscated (bois illégalement confisqué) and
less illegal logging (connexion illégale). Your actions are contributing to less illegal logging and
the conservation of primary forest.
