  ABSTRACT: The deficiency of public policy relating to the artisanal timber sector in Tshopo in the Democratic Republic of Congo is a major factor fueling socio-environmental externalities. The results observed in this Province revealed that these externalities are more negative than positive and therefore contribute to local underdevelopment in the exploitation areas. For this consideration, this article aims to show that the internalization of these externalities is one of the effective policies both for the socio-economic development of local communities and the Province and for sustainable forest management.
