Near East Network on Forest Health and Invasive Species (NENFHIS)The Near East Network on Forest Health and Invasive Species (NENFHIS) supports the exchange of relevant information, knowledge and expertise on forest heath and invasive species issues in the Near East and North Africa (NENA) region. Improved communication and collaboration in the region will help member countries address and manage the increased threats to forest health from forest pests and diseases, invasive species, climate change and abiotic disturbances. The Network Secretariat is located with the FAO Regional Office for the Near East in Cairo, Egypt and this Web site is hosted on FAO servers. To learn more about the Network activities and regional forest health issues, please access the most recent report through the Meetings page.

Objectives of the webinar are to: Please consult the Concept Note and the Invitation for more details. Climate change, forest invasive species and increasing fire incidence pose the environment at great risk, especially in those regions where living conditions are already challenging. Monitoring, early warning and early action systems, were proven to be among the most efficient tools to prevent and combat and such risks. The Near East Network on Forest Health and Invasive Species (NENFHIS) and the Near East Network on Wildlands Forest Fire (NENFIRE) aim to foster the exchange of information and act as a link between experts, institutions, networks and other stakeholders concerned with forest fires and invasive species.
