Abstract This study sought to understand how the Ecuadorian Ministry of the Environment systematic structure works through their so-called Forest Administration System (FAS). This system has generated different perceptions among those that are involved in this system the repercussions of the informalities of the population that subsists off the exploitation of their forests which have changed the market chain from a framework of legality to illegality and the institutional barriers and the costs that have to be met. This are only part of the difficulties faced by the FAS. In Ecuador, the Ministry of the Environment has tried to facilitate processes since 2013, when they allowed for a greater participation of the owners of hardwood farms and thus legalized the cutting and subsequent sale of the hardwood to generate more income for their family, in order to avoid the use of intermediaries and informal exploitation (illegal). It was found that the application of the FAS has achieved big changes, but there are still some faults to correct.

对管理厄瓜多尔北部亚马逊地区木材采伐活动的林业行政系统进行评估

摘要 本研究旨在了解厄瓜多尔环境部系统结构如何通过其所谓的森林管理系统 (FAS) 发挥作用。该系统在参与该系统的人之间产生了不同的看法，即以开发森林为生的人口非正规性的影响，这些影响使市场链从合法框架变为非法框架，以及制度障碍和成本必须满足。这只是 FAS 面临的困难的一部分。在厄瓜多尔，环境部自 2013 年以来一直试图促进进程，当时他们允许硬木农场所有者更多地参与，从而使硬木的切割和随后的销售合法化，为他们的家庭创造更多收入，以避免使用中介和非正式剥削（非法）。发现FAS的应用取得了较大的变化，但仍有一些缺陷需要纠正。
