FAO - The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations was founded at Quebec, Canada, in October 1945 when its member nations agreed to work together to secure a lasting peace through freedom from want. The Headquarters office of the Organization was located at Washington D.C., U.S.A., until 1951 when it was moved to Rome, Italy. The membership of FAO now stands at 101 rations with 3 associate members.
Unasylva - Started in 1947 by MARCEL LELOUP, first Director of the Forestry and Forest Products Division (present Director, EGON GLESINGER), this quarterly publication is intended to cover a range of interests which is as wide as that of the 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 published in Unasylva may be freely reprinted but acknowledgment is requested, together with a copy of the publication which contains the reprint. Editor: LESLIE J. VERNELL.
Cover picture. This photograph of an Australian koala bear, which feeds only on the leaves of certain species of eucalypts, has been put on the cover simply to attract attention to the contents of this number of Unasylva and to wider aspects of the FAO Freedom from Hunger Campaign. By the establishment of shelterbelts and windbreaks for farm crops, by encouraging watershed management and soil conservation, by improving rangelands and by providing fuelwood and building materials, foresters can play their part in raising the living standards of rural communities.
