Au cours de cette mission, l’Observateur Indépendant a visité 32 forêts communautaires. Des investigations menées sur le terrain et de l’analyse de divers documents, sont ressorties les conclusions générales suivantes : - Des abus fréquents de lettres de voiture de forêts communautaires pour évacuer et ou blanchir du bois exploité illégalement ont été constatés sous diverses formes de même que la non-remise au Ministère des forêts de lettres de voiture non-utilisées. Dans plusieurs autres cas, des lettres de voiture ont été délivrées aux forêts communautaires qui n'étaient pas en activité. Dans plus de 60% des cas, il est quasiment impossible de déterminer l’usage de toutes les lettres de voiture attribuées à ces forêts; - L’absence de l’aspect communautaire dans la gestion de plusieurs forêts communautaires, la majorité de ces dernières étant sous l’emprise d'intérêts particuliers de quelques membres des villages.
