FAO Questionnaire on Forest Degradation. FAO needs your input for a survey it is conducting regarding people’s perceptions of what is ‘forest degradation’. This survey is aimed at collecting information on how forest degradation is defined and assessed in various countries and organisations as input to an International Study on Forest Degradation and as part of the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2010. The study is part of a joint initiative of the Collaborative Partnership on Forests (CPF) on harmonising forest definitions and on streamlining forest-related reporting. The concept note on the forest degradation study may be found at http://www.fao.org/forestry/53798/en/ . You may find the questionnaire at http://www.fao.org/forestry/media/16949/1/0/ containing the19 questions. The deadline for completing this questionnaire is 6 February 2009.
