Jan 07, 2005. /Lesprom Network/. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) launched a newsroom dedicated to forest issues on its website. The newsroom, intended for journalists and others with a specific interest in FAO's work in forestry, has links to press releases and other news items as well as feature stories on forestry field projects and in depth articles focused on specific forestry issues. The FAO Forestry Newsroom also has links to information useful to the media such as FAO's country information website, maps and graphs, contacts information, fact sheets on the work of FAO's forestry department, and a search engine. In the near future the visitor will have access to the FAO forestry photo database via the newsroom.
