FRA 2000 Project Processes (E) |
FRA 2000 hectaress produced large quantities of information by country, some of which is summarized in this report mainly in the form of country statistics (see Appendix 3). The main publication of country information is, however, made on the FAO Forestry website, in the Forestry country profiles. These country profiles aim at a comprehensive presentation of the forest sector of each country, which includes also other aspects than those covered by FRA 2000. A large proportion of the currently (1 July 2001) published information is however derived from FRA 2000 work.
Currently, the FAO Forestry country profiles contain more than 20 000 published pages covering 213 countries, four languages and up to
30 unique pages by country. The majority of these pages are related to FRA 2000 and include:
