This issue of Unasylva focuses on the fortieth anniversary of FAO - -and, in particular, on 40 years of work by FAO's Forestry Department. Here, and in the two issues that follow, we will, in addition to publishing articles on important forestry topics, be reprinting selected excerpts from early issues of Unasylva. This issue, for example, includes the major portion of an article from the very first Unasylva: "The disappearance of the tropical forests of Africa,'' by Andr Marie A.

This tenth edition of State of the World's Forests elaborates on a fundamental truth: forests, forestry and forest products play a critical role in sustainable development. State of the World's Forests is published every two years. Throughout history, deforestation has accompanied economic development. It was primarily in response to deforestation that the concept of sustainable development originated and evolved within forest science.

This report presents the key findings on forest land use and land-use change between 1990 and 2005 from FAO’s 2010 Global Forest Resources Assessment Remote Sensing Survey. It is the first report of its kind to present systematic estimates of global forest land use and change. The ambitious goal of the Remote Sensing Survey was to use remote sensing data to obtain globally consistent estimates of forest area and changes in tree cover and forest land use between 1990 and 2005.

El Proyecto Integrado de Seguridad Alimentaria (IFSP) es un programa de colaboración germano-vietnamita, cuya finalidad es mejorar las condiciones de vida mínimas de los habitantes de los distritos de Tuyen Hoa y Minh Hoa de la provincia de Quang Binh en Vietnam Central. Tuyen Hoa y Minh Hoa son distritos montañosos, con un extensión relativamente alta de cobertura de bosque, por lo que la población local no puede cultivar el grano suficiente para satisfacer sus necesidades mínimas de consumo.

To anyone who is genuinely concerned for the future of both the world's forests and the populations who depend either directly or indirectly - on the use of these forests for their livelihood, it should be apparent that, rather than being a force for the destruction of forest resources, forest industry is and must continue to be an essential element in the process of valorizing these resources and thereby ensuring the socio-economic base for sustainable development.
