This paper aims to analyze a study carried out on public participation in the process of granting logging permits by the Regional Autonomous Corporation for the Sustainable Development of the Province of Chocó ("CODECHOCÓ") during 2009 to 2013. To conduct this research project, a descriptive research method was used (Toro & Parra, 2010, p. 244). This research method seeks to explain the reality being researched. A right of petition was filed with the environmental authority CODECHOCO. As a result of this, information was received indicating that 224 persistent forestry permits were granted, in addition to 12 exclusive logging requests. A representative sample of 24 files (10% of the permits granted) were selected for the purpose of this project. We conclude that in granting of permits for the use of environmental resources which directly impact the environment, the participation of the community in the province of Choco is sporadic.
