The field mission in Gabon reveals a lack of local management methods aligned with the "community forest" concept, suggesting its exogenous nature. Preliminary tests are necessary for broader applicability. While examining village management practices uncovers potential partnership formulas, the diversity of traditional methods indicates that a one-size-fits-all model is impractical. Therefore, developing community forestry management will require a tailored regulatory framework that reflects the variety of existing local practices across Gabon.

Gabon’s conservation policies, particularly the creation of national parks, have led to significant conflicts by excluding local populations from their resource-rich areas. This exclusion has intensified tensions among local communities, NGOs, the State, and the international community. The misuse of natural resources exacerbates these conflicts, complicating reconstruction efforts. The impact of colonization further transforms these disputes, revealing shifts in legal frameworks governing human interactions with renewable resources, while conservation managers wield new power that often contradicts local conservation goals.
