Book (stand-alone)FAO strategy / plan / policy / roadmapŞanlıurfa steppe conservation strategy and action plan 2021–2030 2022
Also available in:
No results found.This strategy was prepared in close cooperation with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MoAF) General Directorate of Nature Conservation and National Parks, General Directorate of Plant Production, General Directorate of Forestry and especially the Şanlıurfa Units. This project along with the Province-Based Steppe Conservation Strategy shows the importance FAO and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry together with Şanlıurfa Governorship and other governmental organizations and institutions attach to the conservation of the steppe ecosystems in Şanlıurfa, their sustainable and cooperative management and awareness-raising. Steppe areas represent ecosystems that are very rich in biodiversity and serve as a very important insurance for the conservation of environment and food security of humanity. At present, the wild relatives of many cultivated species still exist in the steppes. In other words, steppes are important gene centers that contribute to the achievement of food security for the future. Şanlıurfa steppes, as part of the “Fertile Crescent” region, give a summary of the agricultural history of humanity and host a very important cultural and scientific heritage that enables us to re-evaluate the preparatory stages of transition to agriculture. In this strategy, while the general characteristics of the Şanlıurfa steppes are covered, the legal and administrative status of the steppes is also laid down. Within the framework of these data, strategies and mechanisms for co-operative and coordinated management of the steppes in the province are identified and presented. -

No results found.The project is carried out collaboratively by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry General Directorate of Nature Conservation and National Parks (GDNCNP), General Directorate of Plant Production (GDPP), and General Directorate of Forestry (GDF) with the financial support of the Global Environment Facility (GEF). This project along with the National Steppe Conservation Strategy shows the importance FAO and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry attach to the conservation of Turkey’s rich and vulnerable steppe ecosystems, their sustainable and cooperative management and awareness-raising. This Strategy is instrumental in contributing to the conservation of unique steppe assets possessed by Turkey at national level as well as fulfillment of international commitments such as those arising from the International Convention on Biological Diversity, Aichi Goals of Convention on Biological Diversity and Convention to Combat Desertification. It appears that there are hardly any policies or legal documents directly geared towards steppe ecosystems in Turkey, as opposed to the legal and administrative documents for the conservation and management of mountain-forests, wetlands, and coastal and marine ecosystems. Therefore, the National Steppe Conservation Strategy and Action Plan assumes special importance. -

No results found.In the project, diverse educational programs are implemented for different target groups, including teachers, students, experts and decision makers responsible for the management of protected areas. An educational program was designed for students, including wall painting and drama activities with the artists, poetry and drawing competitions among schools, and a kite festival with the artists. Additionally, nature corners displaying the features of steppes were established in certain schools. As part of the education and awareness-raising program, an educational kit was prepared for teachers and students. This kit is a source document for increasing the knowledge, interest and awareness of children about the steppe ecosystems of Şanlıurfa. With this reference kit, you will be able to explore the diversity and importance of steppes from different perspectives such as history, biology, geography, sustainability, and climate change.

Key findings
2020This publication contains the main findings of the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2020 (FRA 2020). The data in FRA 2020 have been obtained through a transparent, traceable, reporting process and a well- established network of officially nominated national correspondents. The information provided by FRA presents a comprehensive picture of the world's forests and the ways the resource is changing. Such a clear global picture supports the development of sound policies, practices and investements affecting forests and forestry. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookGlobal Forest Resources Assessment 2020
Main report
2020FAO completed its first assessment of the world’s forest resources in 1948. At that time, its major objective was to collect information on available timber supply to satisfy post-war reconstruction demand. Since then, the Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) has evolved into a comprehensive evaluation of forest resources and their condition, management and uses, covering all the thematic elements of sustainable forest management. This, the latest of these assessments, examines the status of, and trends in, forest resources over the period 1990–2020, drawing on the efforts of hundreds of experts worldwide. The production of FRA 2020 also involved collaboration among many partner organizations, thereby reducing the reporting burden on countries, increasing synergies among reporting processes, and improving data consistency. The results of FRA 2020 are available in several formats, including this report and an online database containing the original inputs of countries and territories as well as desk studies and regional and global analyses prepared by FAO. I invite you to use these materials to support our common journey towards a more sustainable future with forests.
