The study revealed that sustainable forest management (SFM) is nothing new. It has always been a concern, both in Central Africa and worldwide. Several approaches have been put in place to make it a reality: certification, participation, the community approach, the integrated approach and the ecosystem approach. However, the implementation of these approaches, especially in the Central African sub-region, faces a number of challenges. Despite the efforts made, sustainable forest management is far from being a reality, and forest resources are deteriorating in many areas, or even disappearing altogether in others. This is why it is imperative that we continue to reflect on these issues and find solutions to ensure that these approaches are effectively applied, taking into account the reality of each environment, and that sustainable forest management becomes a reality.
