    The major role tropical forests play in
    biodiversity and climate change has led the world to search
    for effective ways to slow down deforestation. Community

    of community-based natural resources management (CBNRM). As
    part of the decentralization policy in many countries,
    mainly in Africa and Asia, CFM was expected to promote: (i)
    a more effective stewardship of the resources by involving

    Expert statements indicate that annually
    approximately 20 billion dollars will be needed to prevent
    90 percent deforestation in tropical countries. Development
    practitioners are eager to see the benefits from REDD plus
    initiatives shared with local partners. Equally important to
    understanding how local partners might benefit are questions
    such as, who should derive benefits from REDD plus
    initiatives, and how to ensure these initiatives reach the

    Poor governance is a major impediment to
    achieving development outcomes of the forest sector. It
    results in losses of income, employment, government
    revenues, and local and global environmental services.
    However, at present, no comprehensive guide to reforming
    forest governance has been developed. Although usually it is
    relatively easy to recognize that the forest sector in a
    country is failing to deliver all its potential benefits,

    This paper looks at the evidence on the
    magnitude and impacts of forest illegal acts, examines the
    vulnerabilities of the forest sector, and proposes a
    strategy for combating forest crime. Forest crime
    prominently includes illegal logging but acts against the
    law also affect other sector operations such as forest
    products transport, industrial processing, and trade. Almost
    universally, criminal exploitation of forest products and
