This will consist of a series of presentations to introduce the audience to two publications developed by the ECE/FAO Forestry and Timber Section: the State of Europe’s Forests 2011 (SoEF 2011), prepared jointly with FOREST EUROPE and the European Forest Sector Outlook Study 2011 (EFSOS II). The former presents a detailed account of the status and health of forests in the pan-European region. Particular attention will be paid to forest biodiversity in the region.
