“…As a response to all the problems discussed, Gupta and Siebert (2004) focus their research on the Forest Integrity Network (FIN). It seems that the fundamental goal of the organization is to reduce forest corruption and that it aims to raise awareness of forest corruption as a key obstacle to forest conservation and sustainable forest use.…”

This study aims to reveal the connection between corruption and shadow economy, on one hand, and deforestation, on the other. The research considers 131 countries from all over the world, in the timeframe between the years 2012 and 2020, and it reveals that corruption and shadow economy positively influence deforestation. Determinants like democratic governance quality, press freedom, wood export share, and culture are also key factors in implementing the right, efficient countermeasures aimed at reducing the levels of illegal deforestation and sustainably managing the forestland. The importance of this study is to provide a solid quantitative basis to decision-makers that come across this problem of illegal logging through a better, fact-based understanding of the phenomenon.

With poor quantitative academic research on the topic, this study aims at presenting an accurate picture of how corruption and logging are interconnected, at the international level, as well as in Romania. Researchers need to have a wide and updated view on this phenomenon when trying to find efficient solutions. For this, the most recent available secondary data (2012-2020) from multiple well-known sources are used for statistical processing, taking into consideration 185 countries, but they are also used to analyze the situation in Romania, where illegal logging is escalating. We found a positive relation between corruption, shadow-economy and money laundering, on one hand, and deforestation, on the other hand, as well as identifying multiple determinants such as the wealth of the country, the efficiency of the government, the protection of the environment, and the public health. In Romania, northern forests are more exposed to illegal logging because of the quality of wood, and counties like Suceava are famous for the red-blooded crimes that happen to the ones who try to protect the woods from illegal exploitation. This analysis' purpose is to raise awareness upon economic and financial crime in the forest industry. These findings are relevant in understanding the phenomenon of illegal deforestation, and it contributes to the adoption of efficient countermeasures that contribute to a healthier environment for all of us.
