Resumen
Descripción
The United National Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), at the request of the member nations and the world community, regularly reports on status and trends in the world’s forest resources. This paper briefly describes the methods used in past surveys, describes the data and methods to be used to complete the 2000 Forest Resource Assessments, and proposes a follow-on continuous world forest survey system to enable FAO to provide the necessary information on a permanent basis. This paper is based on a background document and on the results of an Expert Advisory Meeting on FRA 2000 held in Rome, Italy on March 6-10, 2000.
