FAO - The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations grew out of a United Nations Conference held at Hot Springs, Virginia, U.S.A., in May 1943. The nations agreed to work together to secure a lasting peace through freedom from want. The Organization was formally founded at Quebec, (Canada, in October 1945. It was located at Washington D.C. until 1951 when the Headquarters office was moved to Rome.
Unasylva is prepared by the Forestry and Forest Products Division, directed by Mr. Egon Glesinger and published every quarter in English, French and Spanish. It attempts to cover a range of interest as wide as that of the Forestry Division whose work it mirrors. Signed articles express the opinions of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the Organization. All material in Unasylva may be freely reprinted, but acknowledgment is requested, together with a copy of the publication containing the reprint.
Vast stretches of unproductive paramo (moorland) occupy a great portion of the Andes mountains in, South America. Afforestation together with sheep and cattle breeding are being attempted. At a high altitude (3,550 meters or 11,700 feet) experimental station at Cotopaxi in Ecuador, FAO has introduced Highland cattle from. Scotland with the object of finding a breed of bee animal adaptable to the rigorous conditions. The mountain in the background is Iliniza (5,260 meters or 17,380 feet).Courtesy, W.J.V. Taylor
