This paper seeks to demonstrate that incentives designed to improved competitiveness in foreign markets in the forestry sector leads, all things being equal, to increased timber exports and, in turn, expanded deforestation. Deforestation is an inevitable consequence of the pressure created by global demand for tropical timber, which is underscored by the unbridled harvesting of Cameroon's national forest heritage and exacerbated by inequitable income distribution. The implementation of a sustainable forest management strategy is required now in order to preserve current forestry stocks, this strategy must ensure a balance between the harvesting of forest species and reforestation. The application of a specific model of renewable resource management leads to compelling results in terms of ensuring long-term, optimal management of forestry heritage, and in fact supports the current economic policies for this sector in Cameroon
