Synopsis (short abstract) This report argues the need for reliable statistical information about the world-s forests. It discusses the type of information needed, the work done so far in the field of International Forest Resources Appraisals, the difficulties in undertaking such appraisals, the limitations of present knowledge, methods hitherto used and methods that may be used in future appraisals . The most urgent task in thi s connection is to establish a World Forest Resources Data Bank. The main message of the repor t is that little is known about the world-s forest resources. Improvements are needed at the national level since international statistics must basically rely on national statistics.
