    Forest assessment and monitoring 2002
    Also available in:
    The Global Forest Resources Assessment 2000 (FRA 2000) is now completed, but work has already begun on the next global assessment. The expert consultation "Global Forest Resources Assessments - Linking National and International Efforts", known as Kotka IV, brought together international experts in July 2002 to address future concepts and strategies. The articles in this issue of Unasylva are adapted for a wider audience from papers prepared for the meeting. Without going into technical detail, they explore links among assessment and monitoring, national and international information needs, criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management, and reporting of forest-related information to international instruments. The technical details can be found on the FAO Web site (www.fao.org/forestry) and will be published in the Kotka IV proceedings.

    FAO’s Forestry and Forest Products Division, the forerunner of today’s Forestry Department, was established in late spring 1946 – so FAO Forestry observes its sixtieth anniversary in 2006, prolonging the celebrations of the sixtieth anniversary that FAO celebrated in October 2005. On this occasion we thought it fitting to cover a range of topics rather than a single theme. Topics range from policy development to on-the-ground practices. We hope that this issue will offer something for every read er.

    Pourquoi les peupliers et les saules? En raison de la grande polyvalence dont ils sont dotés. Ces membres de la famille des salicacées fournissent du bois, des fibres, des biocombustibles et d’autres produits forestiers, et jouent un rôle positif dans la remise en état des terres dégradées, la restauration des paysages forestiers, l’atténuation des changements climatiques et la création de revenus dans les régions tempérées et boréales du monde.
