An international review of forestry and forest products
FAO - Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Prepared by the Forestry Division and published every quarter in English, French and Spanish, by the Information Division at FAO's Headquarters in Rome, Unasylva attempts to cover a range of interest as wide as that of FAO's Forestry Division whose work it mirrors. Signed articles express the opinions of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the Organization. All material in Unasylva may be freely reprinted, but acknowledgement is requested, together with a copy of the publication containing the reprint.

Cover Photograph: FAO was born at a conference called by President Roosevelt at Hot Springs, Virginia, U.S.A., in 1943. The Organization came formally into existence at Quebec in 1945. The Forestry Division was first located at 1710 New Hampshire Avenue, Washington D.C., and later moved to the Longfellow Building on Connecticut Avenue. When it was decided that the permanent Headquarters of FAO should be in Rome, the Forestry Division emigrated en masse by ship from New York to Naples, which was not the least adventurous of the Division's undertaking.
