It provides an overview of existing and commonly used monitoring systems and practices in relation with tenure of land, fisheries and forests by civil society organisations and institutions. In order to do so, it will propose a schematic categorization of monitoring in the context of land, fisheries and forests.

This paper is concerned with one facet of this complex problem–how important is legislation in the fight against destructive and corrupt forestry practices?
