FAO's Committee on Forestry, at its second session, endorsed a proposal made at the Third Session of the FAO Panel of Experts on Forest Gene Resources that heads of forest services be requested to nominate national coordinators of information on forest genetic resources who would be liaison officers and correspondents with “Forest Genetic Resources Information” and focal points for exchange of information on forest genetic resources with other countries.
By the end of September 1976, 74 member countries had nominated their national coordinators. Their names and addresses follow.
