Abstract: The objective of our study on the changes that have marked the evolution of forest policy in Congo during the colonial period to the present day, based on surveys conducted in several villages, is to understand the changes in this activity. Beyond the analysis of the dynamics of forest policy change, we wanted to demonstrate an evolution of the relationships between the government, the local population and their socio-political and economic environment on the one hand, and to respond to the problem of the articulation between the dynamics of social changes in these multi-ethnic societies and the dynamics of the coastal space they share. Congo derives a significant set of economic, social and environmental benefits from its forests. Given the vast size and limited accessibility of its forest territory, the Government of Congo has seriously engaged in a process to improve the monitoring of forest activities on its territory in order to strengthen its capacity for sustainable forest planning and management. This commitment has included several initiatives to collect, produce, consolidate, centralize and process data sets from forest monitoring activities.
