Sharing information
Since 1991 the Forestry department of the FAO has run a programme to promote NTFPs, which concentrates on collecting, analysing and disseminating technical information for the conservation of forest biodiversity. Their annual bulletin, Non-Wood News, explains the potentials of NTFPs and their contribution to development. The Tropenbos Foundation ( tropenbos meaning tropical forest) is an international network of researchers and specialists, supporting research programmes in numerous countries. Its Website has an excellent collection of links to the information, publications and programmes of other research bodies and NGOs involved in the conservation and rational use of forests. The Newsletter of the Tropenbos Foundation carries details of projects and studies, such as those underway in Guyana, Cameroon, Côte d Ivoire, Colombia, etc. FAO, Viale delle terme di Caracalla, 00100 Rome, Italy.
