Unasylva - An International Review of Forestry and Forest Products
PREPARED by the Forestry Division and published every quarter in English, French and Spanish, by the Information Division at FAO's Headquarters in Rome, Unasylva attempts to cover a range of interest as wide as that of FAO's Forestry Division whose work it mirrors. Signed articles express the opinions of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the Organization. All material in Unasylva may be freely reprinted, but acknowledgement is requested, together with a copy of the publication containing the reprint.

Cover Photograph: On Mindoro Island, in the Philippines, a Hanunóo shifting cultivator is required to leave a "detour marker" when a clearing is made across an established trail. Inscribed on the outer surface of the bamboo cylinder in this photograph is a message written in the Hanunóo, syllabary telling the traveler where he should walk to avoid an area recently cut over - but still unburned - for purposes of shifting cultivation.
