The Forest Genetic Resources Working Papers report on issues and activities in related to the conservation, sustainable use and management of forest genetic resources. The purpose of these papers is to provide early information on on-going activities and programmes, and to stimulate discussion.
The designations employed and the presentation of material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries. Quantitative information regarding the status of forest
resources has been compiled according to sources, methodologies and protocols
identified and selected by the authors, for assessing the diversity and status
of genetic resources. For standardized methodologies and assessments on forest
resources, please refer to FAO, 2001. State of the Worlds Forests
2001; and to FAO, 2001. Global Forest Resources Assessment 2000
(FRA2000). FAO Forestry Paper No 140. Official information can also be found
