This Issue: Reliability of Forest Inventories and Remote Sensing (Part 3 of 3) and Some Other Good Things
RELIABILITY OF FOREST INVENTORIES AND REMOTE SENSING. (Part 3 of 3) – Recently I was doing some searching for publications on the reliability of forest inventories and remote sensing. Here are some of the sites that I found. If you know of others, please send me the information and I will post in the next NRMI. Thanks, Gyde (gyde@comcast.net).

I do not intentionally list works of fiction in NRMI –but some of you may enjoy this book especially Mr. Crichton’s takes on environmental issues such as global warming, old growth forests, and use of fire in forest management. I think it is worth reading just for his discussions on these topics.

Forest Information Billboard – “Info about Info” We cordially invite you to share information about events, projects and publications with the help of «Forest Information Billboard».The Team of Specialists on Sustainable Forest Management has recommended developing a regular, joint bulletin that shares existing forest-related reporting initiatives among organizations and countries to ensure a more frequent exchange of information and developments on forest related reporting processes. The billboard is open for all, and the content depends on the information provided by you and other organizations/countries. UNECE/FAO Forestry and Timber Section hosts the billboard and welcomes you to take part! Kindly provide your contribution to the first issue by 15 March 2013 to Elina Warsta (elina.warsta@unece.org). For more information see http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/1136787/959294442/name/Forest_info_billboard_concept_note2013%2Edocx . Once finalized, we will include a link to the billboard at our website www.unece.org/forests by the end of March. From UNEP via Nelson Wong, IFL
