INEFFICIENCY OF FORESTRY REGULATIONS AND MANAGEMENT APPLICABILITY ON ROSEWOOD (DALBERGIA. SPP) EXPLOITATION IN MADAGASCAR: CASE STUDY OF MAROJEJY AND MASOALA NATIONAL PARKS
Keywords:
Forestry, Regulation and Management, Rosewood, World Heritage, Madagascar National ParksAbstract
Madagascar is a country rich in biodiversity. For decades, this biodiversity had already been under pressure due to deforestation. In 2009, Madagascar entered an unprecedented political crisis. The country fell into a chasm; poverty has increased and illegal exploitation of rosewood (Dalbergia. spp) deepened further. Thus, thousands of tons of rosewood were operated illegally, and national parks (NPs) such as Marojejy and Masoala have become major victims of such activity. In this present article, we discussed and analyzed the factors driving illegal logging of rosewood in those NPs whether the forest legislation and management are partly responsible or not regarding the illegal logging operated inside the World Heritage. Also it made proposals on what could prove to be the solution to protect national parks from illegal exploitation.
