| dc.description | The year 2000 is an important baseline for a number of forest-related studies including the FAO coordinated Global Forest Resources Assessment (FRA 2000), to be released at the 15th Session of the Committee on Forestry in March 2001. The FRA 2000 estimates of forest cover and change are based on available national reports, verified in expert meetings and scrutinised through expert advice; information on forest cover change is also supported by remote sensing studies. While deforestation is still very high, the trend towards slowing down, noted already in the interim assessments of 1997 and 1999, has been confirmed (see information in this issue). In addition to being linked to a number of related forest genetic resources and forest biological diversity related information systems, the FAO World Wide Information System on Forest Genetic Resources, REFORGEN, recently made available on the Forest Genetic Resources Homepage, will in the future be electronically linked to FRA Home Pages. In formation provided through REFORGEN, coupled with forest resources data provided by FRA, will help underpin national policies and support decision-making and priority setting in forest genetic resources activities at national, regional and global levels. An up-date on REFORGEN is given in the article by Søren Hald. The article by Namkoong in this issue reviews general principles of priority setting. | |
