非法采伐对菲律宾最大的保护区北塞拉马德雷自然公园的生物多样性和农村生计构成了威胁。每年在2万到3.5万立方米之间。木材是从公园里开采出来的。林业局和市政府容忍在保护区内的非法采伐；政府官员认为，禁止沿森林边界的家庭进行一项重要的生计活动将加剧农村贫困。然而，这种推理低估了木材开采的规模，掩盖了资源掠夺和串通腐败。非法采伐破坏了生态系统，扭曲了市场，颠覆了法治，实际上对保护区及其周边地区的可持续农村发展构成了障碍。加强执法和控制腐败是东南亚岛屿保护区及其周围可持续森林管理的先决条件。
Illegal logging is a threat to biodiversity and rural livelihoods in the Northern Sierra Madre Natural Park, the largest protected area in the Philippines. Every year between 20,000 and 35,000 cu. m wood is extracted from the park. The forestry service and municipal governments tolerate illegal logging in the protected area; government officials argue that banning an important livelihood activity of households along the forest frontier will aggravate rural poverty. However this reasoning underestimates the scale of timber extraction, and masks resource capture and collusive corruption. Illegal logging in fact forms an obstacle for sustainable rural development in and around the protected area by destroying ecosystems, distorting markets, and subverting the rule of law. Strengthening law enforcement and controlling corruption are prerequisites for sustainable forest management in and around protected areas in insular southeast Asia.
