FRA Working Papers

The FRA Programme has produced a number of working papers on topics related to global forest resources assessment.

The Forest Resources Assessment (FRA) Working Paper Series is designed to reflect the activities and progress of the FRA Programme of FAO. Working Papers are not authoritative information sources - they do not reflect the official position of FAO and should not be used for official purposes.

The FRA Working Paper Series provided an important forum for the rapid release of preliminary FRA 2000 findings needed for validation and final development of an official quality-controlled FRA 2000 information set.

In the FRA 2000 Postpublishing phase the The FRA Working Paper Series continue to function as a forum for analysis of the FRA 2000 findings

Should users find any errors in the documents or have comments for improving their quality they should The FRA-Programme by mailing to FRA@fao.org.
