Analysis of forest management strategies in Cote d'Ivoire: An economic model

The Ivoirien forest industry has been characterized by a total lack of regulation, planning, and difficulty of reconciling timber removal and replenishment. One of the objectives of this study is to assess the long run timber supply from the natural forests in Cote d'Ivoire and the possibility of incorporating silvicultural activities into forest regulation. The current practice of charging arbitrary fees on volume of timber harvested and then channeling it through a separate management agency has proved inadequate in raising enough funds for management activities. Now the cost of management (reforestation, harvest control, etc..) has been made part of the cost structure of the logging firms.
