<![CDATA[The Legality and Sustainability Verification System (SVLK) is a policy designed to combat illegal logging through a soft approach. The SVLK policy supports efforts to improve forestry governance in terms of timber utilization and distribution. SVLK, as a dynamic policy, continuously adapts to field conditions, including regulatory, social, economic, and environmental aspects, and requires serious attention to ensure optimal achievement of its objectives. This study aims to determine the dynamics of SVLK implementation in Malang. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a descriptive formal evaluation approach. Interviews were conducted with 12 informants: 4 from the Malang Forestry Service Branch, 2 from the Certification Body, and 6 from Industry Players.
