1958
An international review of forestry and forest products
FAO - The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
FAO - The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations - grew out of a United Nations Conference held at Hot Springs, Virginia, U.S.A., in May 1943. The nations agreed to work together to secure a lasting peace through freedom from want. The Organization was formally founded at Quebec, Canada, in October 1945. It was located at Washington D.C. until 1961 when the Headquarters office was moved to Rome.
Unasylva is prepared by FAO's Forestry Division, directed by Mr. Marcel Leloup, and published every quarter in English, French and Spanish by the Information Division. It attempts to cover a range of interest as wide as that of the 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: Loading pulpwood in the far north of Canada, the greatest exporter of pulp and paper in the world. There are 80 pulp and paper companies, some large and some small, operating 130 mills. On 18 September 1958 the new buildings of the Pulp and Paper Research Institute of Canada were officially opened at Pointe Claire, Quebec. The Institute is the industry's focus for fundamental research and for the nurturing and development of scientific and engineering brainpower.
