Technical statutory bodies

FAO supports and benefits from the advice of a number of specialized technical bodies that meet regularly to focus on specific areas of forestry development and management. These bodies study and report on matters of importance for sustainable forestry, and may consist either of selected representatives of member countries or of individuals appointed in their personal capacity.
