"The objectives of the Voluntary Partnership Agreement between the European Union and the Central African Republic (CAR) on forest law enforcement, governance and trade involve combating the problem of illegal logging by helping to improve regulation, governance and the implementation of legislation in the CAR’s forestry sector. Illegal logging contributes to destroying and degrading ecosystems that are very important, both from a functional point of view and in terms of the natural resources that they house. However, a correct approach to the causes of the problem needs to acknowledge that it cannot be separated from the enormous weaknesses in the economies of these countries or the high poverty levels of their peoples, and that this activity is sometimes many families’ only source of income.
The rapporteur herself mentions that many indigenous communities living in the CAR’s tropical forests depend on using forest resources. The result is that it will only be possible to put a stop to illegal or unsustainable logging if the terrible social and economic situation in countries like the CAR is properly tackled and resolved; if the economic model based heavily on extracting and exporting a small number of raw materials to industrialised countries is reversed."@en1
