The purpose of this research was to identify the challenges of governance in the Zagros forests. The grounded theory method, which is a qualitative research method, was used in this research. In-depth interviews with experts were used to collect data. Purposive sampling was used to select interviewees, and data collection and interviews continued until data saturation, when no new information or concepts were extracted (n=27). In the open coding stage, 157 concepts were extracted, and 42 categorical propositions and finally 9 general categories were extracted during axial coding. Based on the results "organizational position and structure incompatible with comprehensive, coordinated, and effective management of Zagros forests" is the root of the problems in the management and governance of Zagros forests, and along with other categories including "weakness in the management and decision-making system", "incompatibility of effective executive bodies for effective management of Zagros forests", "inefficient budgeting and allocation system", "poor coordination between the implementation sector, universities, and research", "conflicts arising from official and customary ownership", "weakness in the education and extension system", and "incompatibility of the speed of addressing violations in the field of natural resources with their nature" has led to the emergence of "incompatibility of the planning and implementation system with the conditions of Zagros forests".
