Introduction
The Asia Pacific region is a vast region comprising many
countries with different peoples, different cultures, different
religions and different languages. While a few countries
in the region are already highly developed, the majority
of these countries are at vastly varying levels of economical
and technological development. Information exchange and
sharing are therefore still far from achieving any impact
on national development among most of the countries in the
region.
In view of this, Asia Pacific Association of Forestry Research
Institutions (APAFRI) has initiated a project to compile
a directory of Asia Pacific forestry researchers.
The
objective of this project is to provide a source of information
on WHO'S WHO in forestry research in the region,
facilitating information sharing and the establishment of
closer collaboration. This directory will be maintained
at the APAFRI’s web site (www.apafri.org) and made
accessible to all interested parties. It will also be packed
together with a browser on compact disks (CDs) and distributed
to member institutions of APAFRI as well as other agencies,
NGOs and regional and international organizations later.
The
participation and contribution from ALL forestry researchers
in the region are crucial to ensure the completeness and
usefulness of this directory. We would therefore like to
invite you to contribute to this directory by sparing a
few minutes to fill up the online form.
Be
part of this Directory! Browsing
this directory will provide you general information of forestry
researchers from Asia Pacific region. However, by registering
yourself as part of this directory, you can view detailed
information, especially researchers' contact details, publications
and many more.
Simply
fill in the online form or e-mail your details (using the
downloadable form provided) to researchers@apafri.org . Your
data will be transcribed to this directory, after the necessary
editing, within a few days. After which, we will send you
your username and password which allow you to login to this
directory for browsing secured information, as well as updating
your own details.
