The article challenges the idea that forest services are corrupt and ineffective in managing natural resources. Instead, it suggests that forest agents are forced to operate in an 'alternative system' due to resource shortages. By understanding this, we can reform and redefine the role of forest services to improve community-based conservation efforts.
