Introduction

|
| General
Information- The Background |
The Asia Pacific Association
of Forestry Research Institutions (APAFRI)
is an independent non-profit body, which
aims to enhance research and technology
development capabilities in support
of conservation and management of forest
resources in the Asia-Pacific region.
The establishment of APAFRI
was prompted by the need to provide
a viable institutional framework for
research collaboration in the region.
Since 1991, the Forestry Research Support
Programme for Asia and the Pacific (FORSPA)
has been fulfilling the networking function.
APAFRI
, a follow-up of FORSPA, is an outcome
of the desire of the countries in the
region and the donor community to develop
a more self-reliant and sustainable
mechanism to strengthen research networking.
It was launched during the meeting of
the Heads of Forestry Research Organizations
in the Asia-Pacific held in Bogor, 20-23
February 1995.
The
International Union of Forest Research
Organizations (IUFRO) has recognised APAFRI
as its Asia-Pacific chapter. APAFRI
has been collaborating closely with the
IUFRO Special Programme for Developing
Countries (SPDC) in strengthening research
in the Asia-Pacific region, and APAFRI's
Executive Director has been coopted as
regional coordinator of IUFRO-SPDC.
The
Secretariat of the Association was initially
based at the FAO Regional Office, Bangkok,
Thailand. Following the decision of the
First General Assembly of the Association
held at Ho Chi Minh City in March 1997,
the Secretariat has been shifted to the
Faculty
of Forestry, University
Putra Malaysia(UPM), Selangor, Malaysia.
In year 2001, Secretariat was relocated
to Forest
Research Institute Malaysia , Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia.
