在过去十年中，对非法伐木的关注大大增加。这篇文章有助于知识的性质，程度和非法采伐（IL）的影响，特别注重生计。我们发现，IL的现实比它所描述的要微妙得多。我们表明，在喀麦隆的非法木材收获比以前认为的要小，近年来，小规模的经营者，被迫非法经营的非法部长决定，贡献了非法收获的很大一部分。我们还展示了国家在IL中所扮演的角色。我们得出的干预措施，解决IL及其影响的优先领域。
Concern about illegal logging has grown considerably over the past decade. This article contributes to knowledge on the nature, extent, and impacts of illegal logging (IL), with particular focus on livelihoods. We find that the reality of IL is much more nuanced than it has been depicted. We show that the illegal log harvest in Cameroon is smaller than previously thought and that in recent years small-scale operators, forced to operate illegally by an illicit ministerial decision, contributed a significant share of the illegal harvest. We also show the role played by the state in IL. We derive priority areas for interventions that address IL and its impacts.
