Forest genetic resources (FGR) are the heritable materials maintained within and among tree and other woody plant species that are of actual or potential economic, environmental, scientific or societal value. They are crucial to the adaptation and protection of our ecosystems, landscapes and production systems, yet are subject to increasing pressures and unsustainable use.

Situación de los Bosques del Mundo 2003 ofrece información sobre los acontecimientos y esferas que son de interés actual en lo que se refiere a los recursos forestales; la ordenación, conservación y desarrollo sostenible de los bosques; el marco institucional; y el diálogo internacional sobre política forestal.

Depending on land management objectives, plus a host of environmental variables, fire will sometimes be an enemy, at other times a friend; in nearly all cases, however, it will continue to exert a powerful influence on natural resource ecosystems. This being so, consideration of the potential impact (both positive and negative) of fire is essential in all land-use plans and programmes for forestry development.

An international review of forestry and forest products

Ce numro d'Unasylva se veut en quelque sorte un reflet du Plan d'action forestier tropical puisque les articles de fond traitent du financement international an matire de foresterie (S.E. McGaughey) et des questions lies trois programmes principaux du plan, savoir, le bois de feu et l'nergie (G. Foley); l'amnagement des bassins versants, volet du programme sur la foresterie dans l'utilisation des terres (U. Chanphaka); et les industries forestires (T.M. Maloney).

The forestry and forest industries sectors have been borne on the tide of this wider reform. This issue of Unasylva offers an analysis of experiences with regard to forestry in transitional economies, with the aim of facilitating an understanding of the important issues involved in the process.

La présente publication «Situation des ressources génétiques forestières du Mali» est issue d’un rapport national présenté à l’Atelier sous-régional FAO/IPGRI/CIRAF sur la conservation, la gestion, l’utilisation durable et la mise en valeur des ressources génétiques forestières de la zone sahélienne (Ouagadougou, 22-24 sept. 1998).
