Edition 1

Synopsis (short abstract) This issue of Unasylva focuses on the fortieth anniversary of FAO - -and, in particular, on 40 years of work by FAO's Forestry Department. Here, and in the two issues that follow, we will, in addition to publishing articles on important forestry topics, be reprinting selected excerpts from early issues of Unasylva. This issue, for example, includes the major portion of an article from the very first Unasylva: "The disappearance of the tropical forests of Africa,'' by Andr Marie A. Aubrville, an article that, 38 years later, seems prophetic - especially during a year when FAO is making a major new effort to address the crisis in Africa.

    In his opening remarks to the Eighth Session of the FAO Committee on Forest Development in the Tropics, held in Rome in mid-September 1987 (reported in "The World of Forestry"), FAO Deputy Director-General D.J. Walton drew a parallel between the situation in forestry today and that of agriculture in the 1970s, pointing out that only when policy-makers outside agriculture began to understand the social and economic costs of neglecting the sector did things begin to change for the better.
