    The second regional workshop under the framework of the project “Strengthening Country Capacity in Forest Resource Assessment for Sustainable Forest Planning in the Asia Pacific Region -GCP/RAS/162/JPN” was organized in Thimpu, Bhutan from May 23 to 26, 2000. The project derives its basis from FRA 1990 which indicated a very unsatisfactory condition not only in gathering, analyzing and reporting of forest information but also in making its use for sustainable forest planning and forest resource assessment at national and regional levels in all South Asian countries. The project supplements Forest Resources Assessment programme of FAO to fill current gaps in the forest resource information. It became operational on April 1st, 1998 and is scheduled to close in 2001. Three participants from each of the project countries (Bhutan, Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) and a guest country (Myanmar) deliberated mainly on forest planning, forest databases, forest internet netw orking, world forest survey, regional forest forum/center and regional forest policy. The workshop was held in close cooperation with the Forestry Services Department of the Royal Government of Bhutan. Most of the participants presented study reports and documents for detailed technical discussion. This workshop achieved its planned objectives due to its focused design and active participation of the country delegates and resource persons.

    The sustainable utilization of natural resources is a major element of rural livelihoods and economic development in Brazil. From 2011 to 2019, FAO implemented the project “Strengthening the national knowledge and information framework to foster sustainable forest resources management policies". This project helped to establish and consolidate a National Forest Inventory (NFI) model approved by, and agreed with, different partners and stakeholders in the forest sector. The focus given to institutional strengthening and data collection was strategic to achieve an unprecedented level of qualified knowledge on the topic. To date, there is some evidence on the use of NFI results for policymaking, promotion of sustainable management of forest resources, and biodiversity conservation. NFI results were also used in international forums and documents such as Global Forest Resources Assessments (FRA) 2020.
