18th Session of the Committee on Forestry (COFO) “Weaving knowledge into development”. 12 – 16 March 2007, Rome, Italy

What is COFO? The Committee on Forestry (COFO) is the most important of the FAO Forestry Statutory Bodies. The biennial sessions of COFO (held at FAO headquarters in Rome, Italy) bring together heads of forest services and other senior government officials to identify emerging policy and technical issues, to seek solutions and to advise FAO and others on appropriate action. Other international organizations and, increasingly, non-governmental groups participate in COFO. As the need arises, FAO also convenes special meetings of forestry ministers, non-governmental organizations and private industry.
