C6te d＇ Ivoire is one of the largest timber exporters in Africa. Due to over-logging, agricultural expansion, population growth and unstable political and social environments, forest resources have seriously degraded for decades. Forest coverage in this country has declined from 50% in the 1930s to less than 9% at present. The role of forestry, forestry policies and changes in forest resources and management practices in the country were introduced in this paper, and suggestions for curbing further forest deterioration and realizing sustainable utility of natural resources were recommended for policy makers.
