The article discusses how poor governance in Bangladesh leads to deforestation and forest degradation due to corruption. The researchers studied the forest governance system in three areas to see how it aligns with UN principles for successful implementation of REDD+. They found that lack of transparency, accountability, and integrity contribute to deforestation. Corruption in the forestry sector hinders effective REDD+ implementation. The study suggests legal protection, involving civil society, and improving forest department structures to combat corruption in Bangladesh's forestry sector.
