摘要：INDUSTRIAL logging
has several decades of
tradition in the Congo
Basin. During this period
the industry has evolved
and diversified, spreading
to all the countries of
the region and adapting
to local and international
conditions—yet it tends to
be perceived as static and
internally homogeneous
(Greenpeace Switzerland
no date). We believe that
understanding the industry’s
diversity and characterising
the main factors
that influence change is
an important element of
improving national and
regional policies aimed at
the sustainable management of the Congo Basin forests.
