Implementing measures to prevent and mitigate tropical forest degradation can face several socioeconomic and political challenges. Socioeconomically, local communities dependent on forest resources for their livelihoods may resist conservation efforts that restrict their access to these resources. Balancing conservation goals with the needs of these communities is essential to ensure the sustainability of forest protection initiatives. Politically, issues such as land tenure rights, governance structures, and conflicting interests among stakeholders can hinder the implementation of effective conservation measures. Addressing these challenges requires a multi-stakeholder approach that involves local communities, governments, NGOs, and international organizations working together towards sustainable forest management.
