Dear All,

We would like to invite you to participate in this month's UNFF on-line
discussion on the benefits and challenges associated with community-based forest management. 

You can access the e-forum directly at
<http://esaconf.un.org/WB/?boardID=unff> or via the UNFF website at
<http://www.un.org/esa/forests>.

Our guest contributor for this discussion is Marike Michel from the Global
Alliance of Community Forestry, who has provided us with a broad overview
of key benefits and challenges related to community-based forest
management.  We would like to thank her for her input.  Please note that
these guest opinion pieces do not represent the views of the UNFF
Secretariat, the UNFF, or its member States.

We encourage you to contribute to what we hope will be a lively and
insightful discussion. The discussion board will be open for one-week from
today, 5 March until 11 March 2007.  A brief summary of key issues raised
during the on-line discussion will be published in the next edition of the
UNFF newsletter.

Please feel free to distribute this announcement widely.

Best Regards,
